| Comments: |
First snowy hike of the year! This area already had snow but the first hour or so it was snowing then sun came out and it was a blue bird day. Snow at it's deepest was maybe 6 inches. We booted it the whole way although we had spikes. Altogether, this trail is kinda boring but was pretty with the snow. Easy, straight 3.8 to Kilkenny which then climbs gradually. The last quarter mile of KRT is steep so you may want use spikes. |
