|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Plows have left plenty of shoulder room on both sides of the road. 8 cars easily fit on 1 side. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes |
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The many small crossings are not bridged. A little tricky to keep snowshoes out of the water with the steep snowy slopes encouraging you to slip right into the water. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Plenty of leaners. Removed a couple of small blowdowns. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Kali had a blast. But got wet feet on the crossings. Icy ledges were not an issue. All covered with plenty of snow. |

Lots of traffic today! A few inches of fresh powder down low and 5-6" up high. lots of drifting up on the ridge. A dozen or more hikers in snowshoes have the trail in fine shape. Not packed solid though - lots of loose fluffy stuff on the steeps, making for a fun descent! A few bare booters were out for an afternoon stroll down low but not too much damage. Prob cleaned up by late day hikers.
Beautiful but chilly day. No sign of tracks from Sabbaday or Scaur.
Thanks, Heather - fun day! |
