Lonesome Lake Trail was fine for the brief 0.4 that I was on it. Hi-Cannon was great- mostly dry. Switched to micro-spikes just before the ladder. Off at the ladder, back on in the snow flats. Great views from the top on this bluebird day- Camel's Hump, Mansfield, Dacks to the left, Franconia Ridge to the right. I took the Kinsman Ridge Trail down to the parking lot. Note- the tram station at the top (and the bottom) was closed. KRT was wretched. Lots of ice floes all the way to within 0.3 of the parking lot. I wished I had my full 12 point crampons instead of the inadequate spikes. At the new display for the Old Man, a nice gal poured me a glass of red wine while her mate was fly-fishing in the lake. That helped me make the quick two miles to the Lonesome Lake parking lot without thinking about my wet feet
