What a day on the trail! 40-50 mph winds- had a great time going up to Cannon's tower! The snow was surprisingly well crusted just about the whole way. I got to bag three 4ks for my Spring 4ks as well as a NEHH peak! There was a significant amount of ice past Cannon's summit and around the Kinsmans. The ladder up Hi Cannon trail was dry. Somehow managed to go down the Mt Kinsman trail and ended up near 16... it was a long day at that point! Received some trail magic with a ride back to my car :) Snowshoes will be needed once it warms back up. Full trip report and photos will be posted shortly. |
