 | Comments: |
Trails were VERY wet. Hale Brook trail wasn't awful, but had a good amount of running water near the top but pretty shallow. Lend-A-Hand trail was basically underwater the whole time between big puddles and the trail being a stream. Twinway was fine up to Zeacliff but had lots of puddles and slush from there to Zealand. The ends of the branches up at higher elevations had ice on them which caused lots of the water after it melted to fall onto the trail and the wind would also blow some of these tiny ice pieces down and onto the trail, which was very unpleasant. |
