Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Best bet is 1/4 mile East at the end of the Trudeau Road. If you have a 4 wheel drive "big rig" you can make it over the snow bank into the end of the loop road. Two persons left tire tracks from doing so.

Comments
Comments: Roughly 6 inches of wet, heavy, sticky snow. A slog. One guy with a long stride doesn't make much of a track. After a couple more snowshoe over it and it freezes it will be ready for the bare booters. Curious, the breaking got easier the higher I went - less snow - and I don't know why. Maybe the snow is frozen? There is an annoying crust that keeps snagging your poles.
