 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Rapid Stream Road was plowed all the way to about 1/4 mile before making the turn over the 2 new bridges. However, beyond the winter parking area by the big boulder 1/2 mile down Rapid Stream Road AWD and high clearance is required and parking is impossible without blocking the snowmobile corridor. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Snow - Unpacked Powder |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes |
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Open water at all crossings. A couple of crossings require stepping on sub-merged rocks. I would expect some difficulty after the rain. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A handful of blow downs and some are difficult to navigate with the deep snow. Lots of debris but generally much better than we had feared/expected. Only had to cut one awkward bender. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
This is not an easy hike for dogs but should be okay for experienced winter capable dogs. |
