Looking up the Red Hill Trail
Route: Red Hill Trail
While this is often the first moderate sized hike in the Lakes Region to melt out, there is still top to bottom, wall to wall coverage. It's also pretty heavily barebooted, so when in Rome... Bareboots were fine, as the footbed was relatively firm and grippy enough. Some may want light traction if hiking early in the day after a cool night. If venturing on any side trails, snowshoes would be a must. Probably a foot of snowpack down low and close to three feet up high.
