 | Comments: |
Early spring flowers beginning to bloom. Saw trillium with buds but no flowers yet. Mtraiore moose droppings than I’ve seen anywhere in VT or NH over the past few years.
Snow line is about 3,200’ feet. Donned snowshoes just below the jct with Long Trail, used them to Breadloaf and back. Few open spots, but not worth taking them off and putting them on again. No need for microspikes. LT in this area difficult to follow in winter conditions.
