 | Comments: |
soft snow made for a difficult bushwhack along the stream bank of the lower Cedar Brook Trail. I had trouble finding the best route, which was generally very close to the stream. There was no one else around, so Cadi and I decided to turn around. Other than the bushwhack, a stable monorail that was easy on microspikes going up and snowshoes going down. |
