Kinsmans 5Dec2018

Gorgeous day for this beautiful hike up the Mt. Kinsman trail then to North and South Kinsman. Mt. Kinsman parking lot is not plowed, my truck was fine but would be sketchy for a car. Trail was packed so Hillsounds were adequate, carried snowshoes but didn't need them and they would have made the icy sections and the ridge difficult. Mt. Kinsman trail was in great shape but the ridge was a different story. Between the two peaks there are a lot of blowdowns, step over and crawl under that added some time to the hike but not that bad, especially on the return when I knew what to expect. Saw 2 people and one cool dog named Elliot.
