Comments: Mt. Shaw, High Ridge, Turtleback, asome small connectors and bushwhack, a short road walk

Very nice day out. Weather was perfect. Trails not crowded except a little at Mt. Roberts and Bald Knob. Get it now while the getting's good. The High Ridge Trail has a significant amount of spring snow. You don't need snowshoes or spikes. Shoes might get a little damp. The snow alternates between stable monorail and collapsing monorail. There are sections clear of snow as well.
