Jenkins Mountain 2/12/10

[Short Job]

Trail conditions Broken the whole way. One of the best things about this peak is that almost nobody goes there, so you are very likely to experience solitude. That plus an expansive view of the High Peaks fromt he summit (Whiteface all the way around to the Sewards) make this a nice alternative for an easy day. Although the guide book says the elvation change is 780 feet, that seems to be the net change. Topo software clocks it at 1046 feet ascending and another 284 descending. We snowshoed, but with the very gentle grades and lack of tight turns, skis could take you most of the way, too.
