Many thanks to the crew that packed the trails out yesterday. It really was a "magnificent snow shoe track" FranM!! Perfect blue sky day with no wind and the best packed trail I've been on in awhile. That said, snow shoes are your friends. Bare booting this trail right now would be miserable. First time I've seen the other side of the river in awhile, a refreshing change. Thanks again to FranM for posting and the crew for their work which made my hike awesome. |
