| Comments: |
Not a very well marked trail. Bear booted it the first mile, decided to throw on snow shoes. Lost the trail within a quarter mile from Unknown Pond. Fresh snow and dense trees stopped us from bushwacking.
It was getting late, had to turn back. Overall a great day though. We will attempt another day from a different direction. Probably easier with snow shoes once you get up in elevation. |
