 | Comments: |
Since my last hike someone has booted up beyond the bridge making the trail difficult to traverse in snow shoes. At some point the tracks stop and I switched to snow shoes. After this is the blowdowns and any previous tracks have been covered by blown snow. Car washes along the steep sections closest to the ridge. There were no noticeable tracks on Sandwich Mountain Trail to the summit of Dome. And going toward Jennings from the junction I lost the trail in several places. It was a lot of fun so I decided to do all three peaks. The trail to Noon is a super highway compared to Smarts Brook. As usual I didn't see anyone beyond Yellow Jacket. |
