Comments
Comments: Slept in so got a late start and picked something close. Trail is shared with snowmobiles so keep eyes and ears open - well packed out from top to bottom; tree about 1/4 mile up from upper stream crossing serves as a barrier to snowmobiles so only foot traffice from there to top. Packed snow all the way up with many patches of ice that can be avoided. Wore snowshoes top to bottom trying out the nes Tubbs though could be easily bare booted though some might like light traction. Caught a great sunset up top and still made it out before light failed. Not many out today late - saw three heading on skis and two on snow mobiles.
