Looking up the Gunstock Mountain Trail
Route: Carriage Road, Gunstock Mountain Trail, (Gunstock Mountain), Gunstock Mountain Trail, Carriage Road
In trying to avoid the snow squalls that popped up, I headed south to the Belknaps. Unfortunately, the squalls hit here as well and lingered for a few hours.
The Gunstock Mountain Trail was generally still covered in snow, though the open glades had bare ground. The ice situation just below the summit was quite bad, with multiple significant blue ice bulges.
