Another was before us, but his tracks were almost faded when we arrived (Cedar Brook Trail), and were completely gone when we got to the ridge and South Hancock. The drifts were knee-to-waist deep atop the ridge, and the 50+ mph winds probably cleared our tracks as well. The butt sledding was amazing down South Hancock, to all that want a great butt sledding trail. :) |
