 | Comments: |
Crossed recently rebuilt snowmobile bridge at end of Little River Road, then took immediate left onto herd path to North Twin Trail summer parking lot. Herd path and North Twin Trail (plus second herd path to Fire Warden's Trail junction - ie path around North Twin Trail crossings 1 and 2) were bootable, though I opted to use snowshoes. Fire Warden's Trail was generally packed out by skiers, but I broke out the upper birch switchback. Snowshoes or skis a good idea. Trail well packed for either all the way to summit (no snow tower, unfortunately). |
