 | Comments: |
There was a couple of inches of very fluffy snow over ice on the road walk. Traction may be helpful there. We put on snowshoes soon after the reroute and above the brook crossings. There were four ahead of us who had broken trail. May have been as much as 6 inches of new snow up high. Several feet of snow in the woods made for a very wintery scene.The trek down was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to Ali, Sarah and Hannah. |
