Everything is well packed out. We considered doing it via Zealand Rd to increase our speed but we are so glad we chose this route instead (Thank you Steve Smith for the encouragement). Beautiful birch groves like nothing we have seen before! No issues anywhere - a couple patches of ice but nothing to worry about. We used microspikes car to car. We only saw two groups of people the whole day. Excellent, fast hike - almost made our 3 hour mark! |
