Comments
Comments: Very dry trail up to Lonesome Lake. In the woods, an interesting of high stable monorail, dry trail, and water/mud. The high snow no sun areas are really fun to see this time of year -- you go from no snow or ice to a pocked of four foot snow pile back to rocks. The dirt covered ice is my least fav when the rock spikes are off. Quite the mess coming down Kinsman ridge to the Cannon parking lot. Beautiful day and I beat the thunderstorms :-)tr
