 | Comments: |
It snowed the whole 3.5 hours while I was hiking. No snow at the bottom but gradually increasing to 3 inches at the top. It was about 9.3 miles total with 1,940 feet of gain and 2.6 miles was bushwhacking. I did an out-n-back to each peak from the dirt snowmobile trail on the west of the ridge (called Kimball Hill Road on the map). The woods were not exactly friendly especially covered in snow, so I chose the shortest amount of whacking. Lots of hobblebush the moose have been chewing, so it’s grown back extra thick. Lots of fir surrounding the summits too and some boggy areas, but also some good open woods; a variety to keep it interesting. It was about 0.3 each way to the North peak and a mile to the main higher peak at moderate grades. I jogged the trail back, which was mostly decent but did have some awful half-frozen mud in some sections. The snowmobile trail to the East of ridge looked ok, but a bit grassier from the part I could see. The trip took me about 3.5 hours. |
