| Comments: |
Great Gulf Trail is a well-packed snowshoe trench. Osgood Trail had seen a little traffic but is now well broken and in great shape. Above treeline was a cairn-to-cairn affair with low visibility and a drifted over trail. Bagged plans to go for Adams and Jefferson.
This approach makes a really nice alternative to the Valley Way |
