| Comments: |
Lower part of Mt. Langdon trail muddy with some running water but not many patches of snow; after Wilderness Boundary more snow patches but also open areas too..up on Oak Ridge snow became prevalent but frozen enough for us to spike up to the summit, with again some dry trail on the Mt. Parker trail..we took snowshoes in case but no need for them, it was still solid enough upon return..saw turkey track and small bear track up near summit area..turkey track unusual that high up?? |
