 | Comments: |
I carried spikes today - never needed to put them on - mostly I encountered a back and forth between muddy and dry conditions. The Blue trail from the Fire tower on Belknap down to the saddle junction with the white trail up to Gunstock is still mostly stable monorail with plenty of room on either side to walk without creating more erosion than is already present. Other than that, trails are snow and ice free. |
