 | Comments: |
I'd been meaning to walk on Foxglove Pond all winter and craved the solitude of this quiet, and beautiful trail. Snow levels were trace/spotty down low, but around 1900' transitioned to a consistent, dense, hard snowpack with an icy crust. Barebooted down low, snowshoed up high. The bog was still frozen except for a stream that is opening in the middle. Great way to visit and enjoy the view. |
