 | Comments: |
Cold overnight trip hiking north to south. Stayed in the cabin for the night. Trails were mostly ice free except for north side of Cabot. Carried spikes but never used them. That changed due to new snow Tuesday. Trail conditions quickly changed once snow ramped up in the afternoon. Starr King went from moderate snow at the summit, to a mix at 2200' to rain. Everything has changed now.
Nice grey Jay encounters. Heard some moose as well. |
