 | Comments: |
Hale Brook Trail was broken out...for the first 100 yards. Thereafter, we broke trail to the summit, powder depths ranging from knee high (most of the way) to stomach deep in some drifts. Trail is well packed now.
No sign of any traffic from Lend-A-Hand or Fire Warden's. Sugarloaf Trail also didn't appear to be broken out. |
