It's getting sloppy out there! Wore snowshoes roundtrip - top to bottom coverage, though lots of bare ground in the woods for the first half of the ascent to the lake. Monorail popping up down low, as well as from the lake to the Kinsman Ridge Trail. Bootable up to lake, but beyond there snowshoes necessary - barebooters were finding themselves postholing halfway to China recently. Kinsman Ridge Trail to Northeast Cannonball not yet monorailed, but has spring snow like everywhere else on this hike. |
