Today turned out much better than I expected. Although there were wet leaves and some mud to the upper junction of the Bunnell Notch and York Pond Trails, it was easy going. There was some ice up high, but mostly covered in a 1/2-1 inch of snow, providing sufficient traction without use of spikes. It snowed lightly in the higher elevation...very pretty! Temps stayed cool enough to prevent ice and snow on trees from falling on me. Given the recent rain/snow, the hike overall was very pleasant. It's definitely looking like winter on the peak. |
