Comments
Comments: Mt. Flag trail started out broken, buy the tracks stopped shy of the Cannan Mtn. Tr. junction. Breaking was never too tough due to good consolidation. Snowshoes a must. Gorilla trail was hard to find in a few spots, but others had many blazes. Mt. Shaw tr. unbroken. The Banana Tr. was broken, but the Tate mtn. was not.

Great hike with Kyle. This is likely on of his last hikes before starting a thru hike of the PCT in a couple weeks.
