Comments
Comments: The trail is well broken out and easy to find. Snowshoes are recommended for most of the trail as there as soft spots especially about 2 miles up where drifting often happens. People barebooting or using spikes were breaking up the trail in places and post holing in others making it messy and unpleasant to hike. Fortunately there were quite a few snowshoers smoothing it down.
