Comments
Comments: Bright and sunny this afternoon but the wind kept it feeling a bit cooler. Mixed conditions today with mostly dry trails and some areas of very wet and muddy trails. Only snow was at Gunstock summit, they were skiing today. Some patchy ice on the Brook Trail and Blue Trail. More significant ice on the Red Trail above the viewpoint. I was able to skirt around all the ice without issue. For the amount of cars at the trailhead, I was surprised to only see a few other hikers. 114/144
