Kinsmans via Lonesome Lake, Fishin Jimmy, Kinsman Ridge
Date of Hike: Saturday, January 31, 2009
Trail Conditions: Now well packed powder
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes
Comments:
Trail very well packed to Lonesome Lake Hut. Beyond that trail was unpacked with deep snow in places. Had to break trail on the trip in. Had some help from mother/daugher hikers on the Fishin Jimmy and up to North Kinsman. The trail is now well packed all the way to South Kinsman as there was a group of ~8 AMC hikers behind me doing the finishing touches.
No blowdowns. Snow on the trail is high so lots of spruce branches to deal with. Trail across the ice on Lonesome Lake being used (at your own risk!). I had no trouble crossing.
