 | Comments: |
Parked at end of Little River Rd, followed the herd path to the summer trailhead, and then the trail/bushwhack to the stream crossing which was frozen solid. Some wore microspikes all day, others used snowshoes intermittently. Cold, and at times windy day, never getting above 0F. Came out Gale River Trail to Beaverbrook parking area. Mostly the trails were hardpacked powder, with few postpoles. Occasionally wind-blown snow created small drifts. |
