Comments
Comments: Nice Sunday hike with Denise, Matt, and Kyle. Windy up top but not too cold in the woods, and we all easily stayed nice and warm. Engine Hill whack misses one of the nicer glades and gets a little scratchy but it's a decent route and dumps out not too far from the first of three water crossings which were all snow-bridged. We wore snowshoes from the whack and kept them on until getting back down but it can be done relatively easily in light traction until the next storm.
