| Comments: |
We wore MicroSpikes the whole way, carrying our unused snowshoes. Wind on the ridge was covering our tracks in minutes. The old-lumber-road shortcut from the lower Imp Trail to Camp Dodge is well packed, saving about a mile of trail and road walking to get back to the 19-Mile Brook trailhead. |
