Comments
Comments: Minimal snow at low elevation, but considerable depth higher up. Snowshoes were a must for many of these trail, especially the AT along Saddleball and Fitch. Trials are better packed around Greylock. Breaking was not too bad on the untracked trails including CCC Dynamite, parks of prospect, and the afore mentioned AT sections. Great hike.
