 | Comments: |
The trail up to Lonesome lake hut was very well packed, we saw many people and used spikes. We switched to snowshoes for the climb via Fishing Jimmy to North Kinsman, spikes would probably have worked too. We opted to take the Kinsman pond trail on our way down. It was not broken in, but easy to follow and we mostly just slid down with our snowshoes. Trail breaking is much easier downhill :) |
