Killington/Pico hike on 3/6/08.

I was planning on joining several others and hiking up Killington and Pico in Vermont on 3/6/08.

I need Killington for my NE67 list and Pico for my 100 Highest list.

Researching the hike, I found information about the "Spring Mud Season" between early March and late May.

It suggests that you avoid higher elevation trails since snow melt makes trails extremely muddy and hikers avoid the mud by walking off the trails. Plus, I didn't want to drive 3 hours to find a trail too muddy to hike.

I am planning on going up this summer with my wife Jenifer (she is also working on the NE67) and we can bag Pico and Killington.
