Comments
Comments: All 3 trails were well broken out -- thank you to everyone who did the hard work! The steep section heading up the Hancock Loop Trail towards North Hancock was slippery due to some loose snow, so go with your best traction option. There were a few postholes here and there along the whole route, but nothing problematic.
