Date of Hike: March 6, 2014
Trail Conditions: Just a couple of small bare spots, trail from the Mt. Jo to go lot is hard packed snow and ice. Ice in spots thick enough in a couple of spots where I might have been happier in crampons instead of Microspikes.
Special Equipment Required: snowshoes, not needed, Microspikes where best choice, a couple of spots might have been better with crampons but more spots would have been too thin for crampons.
Comments: Optional - Beautitful day to be out a bit warmer, maybe Spring really is on the way. Several people out today including a group from the Pioneer Valley Hiking Club. Up top I took one micro-spike off so I could climb the few bare steps near the top.
