Just Fred and I today for this great hike. Weather was great, little cool in the morning so had to do some critical thinking about clothing before heading to the meet up.
The LL parking area was essentially empty when I arrived and the trail was really quiet (nice!) in the morning, but more folks showed up as the day progressed, including dogs and kids, and some requisite eye candy which is always nice. Enough snow maybe ½ mile from the lake to put on spikes, but the monorails overall were easy to navigate. Some dramatic ice and rock navigation on the Kinsman trail for the final push to Cannon, but that only made. Stopped at the hut on Lonesome Lake for some lunch on the way back down. So pretty leisurely hike really, back down at 2:30.
