Comments
Comments: North road plowed but plenty of snow on road. Followed snowmobile logging road which is all trails route. Continued for awhile, hoping that snowmobile tracks would take us farther up hill. Snowmobile tracks split, we went right and continued on, eventually snowmobile tracks stopped and we continued on logging road. Tried to follow all trails track but not 100%. At one point we went straight on logging road but came back and went right looking for herd path. Farther up we had hard time finding herd path and you will find a few tracks, correct path is up steep hill! No further issues, took herd path to top. Grab it now while packed out.
