 | Comments: |
Small patches of snow in Taft Lodge area and on LT between Nose and Forehead. Stowe side of Mansfield basically snowfree. From past hikes in late May, the most snow on the Underhill side was near the Forehead. Very little there today so I would assume Underhill side of Mansfield is also snowfree. Haselton Tr. (upper half) rather wet. Much nice trail work by GMC has made this trail much better. |
