 | Comments: |
Did not start at summer trailhead, instead followed snowmobiled logging roads to trail xing 1 mile in. From there a snowmobile had packed the trail to w/in 0.4 mi. of firewarden's cabin. Rest of the way is now packed by two pairs of skis coming and going. Beyond cabin not broken out. Most recent previous party was late Jan./early Feb.
Cabin still stands, but probably for not much longer. |
