Nice day for this stroll to Mt. Hale, 10.2 miles, 6 of it is road walking and the rest was a nice snowshoe track up to the wooded summit. Trail is in great shape, the ridge before the switchbacks is very soft so a little caution there --- looks like a few people have started falling down the hill. Overall a great day, love the peek through views of the presidentials and Carrigain Notch in the winter!
