Date of Hike: Mon., Feb. 20, 2012
Trails: Ravine Rd., Gorge Brook Trail
Conditions: Road walk was hard packed and easy. The trail was was firm with some loose snow on top. Some minor drifting in places up high. One duck-under after the second bridge. Summit cone was icy crusted snow and hard pack. I wore my Hillsounds from car to car and they worked great. Beautiful blue sky with windy conditions on the summit. Fantastic views in all directions. I saw one person on the summit as I was headed up. He must have gone back down the carriage rd. Eight others headed up on my way back down. 15 degrees this morning when I started and 26 degrees at 1:00 when I finished. Rt. 118 is in bad shape from Lincoln up to Ravine Rd. with frost heaves.
