Looking up the Red Hill Trail
Route: Red Hill Trail
Still plenty of snow in them there hills after this week's rains.
First few tenths of a mile of trail was mostly snow free. Consistent snowpack started around 1,000 feet in elevation, initially a few inches, then more along the line of 6". Around 1,900 feet in elevation, snowpack was 6-12" of spring snow.
This trail gets steady foot traffic, so I was able to bareboot in spring conditions late this afternoon. I do suspect that temperatures could get low enough overnight to firm up the soft ice and thus make carrying Microspikes a good idea if venturing up tomorrow morning. If planning to bushwhack in the upper elevations in the Lakes Region, I suspect snowshoes will be a good idea.
