Peak: Hancock South, Hancock North
Trails: Hancock Notch Trail, Cedar Brook Trail, Hancock Loop Trail
Mileage: 9.76
Elevation Gain: 2,675′
Weather: 79% Humidity. Cloudy & low visibility, 29(F), felt like it was in the teens near the summits with a gentle breeze. Periodic snow showers throughout the trip.
Ground Conditions: Plenty of packed down snow out on the trails. Would make sense to bring microspikes and/or snowshoes. Snowshoes with televators on the climb up the south peak may make for a more fun trip up depending on your personal preference.
Notes: Not the clearest day out on the loop but it was nice, quiet and snowy! Saw a few gray jays and plenty of small critter tracks out on the trails. Looked like a snowshoe hare made use of the loop trail across a good portion of ridge.
