 | Comments: |
Grafton Loop up to the summit was in good shape. Would suggest light traction for that trail. Woodsum Spur was unbroken since the last major snowfall and had some fairly deep drifts. I broke out the whole spur trail with my snowshoes. It took me a few tries to find the start of the Woodsum Spur - apologies for the couple quick dead-ends at the summit from when I was looking. I would suggest snowshoes for Woodsum still. Absolutely beautiful day |
