I've seen pics of the deep snow and expanded views on Hancock. Once back in the 80s we had a nearly 360 view from South Hancock, the snow had drifted so much. Sadly, it's melting quickly now, at least in the valleys. <br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-90327538141400186962017-02-21T12:54:18.682-05:002017-02-21T12:54:18.682-05:00Hi Steve - A friend and I used your tracks on Sund...Hi Steve - A friend and I used your tracks on Sunday to climb Noon - thank you! I think the snow had melted a lot by Sunday. I broke out Hancock Loop Trail on Friday. The snow was so deep at the summit of Hancock that the trees near the trail poked a few inches out of the snow. I could see Washington, Lafayette, and Kinsman from the summit!<br /><br />Dennisalpinebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935048064283735090noreply@blogger.com
