 | Comments: |
1.7 mile road walk to the camps and open field at the end of Brown Rd. Continue on Brown road, snowmobile corridor 7 to the gate. After reaching the gate take your first left and follow a logging road for approximately 1 mile. Start whacking. West is one mile to the southeast. Descend into the col and head to Castle. Road walk was packed by snowmobiles and barebootable, the woods were 6 in to 2 feet of fresh snow. Snow Shoes are highly recommended. Mostly open woods a few minor bands of thick sections.
