Some blow downs along the way, not well marked going to the summit, and ended up getting lost in the beginning and making a trail that leads to nowhere (do not follow the path that leads to a large and wide trail at the beginning of Bunnell). |

The broken/destroyed monorail is hard for humans, and it may be exhausting and difficult for dogs. |

| Comments: |
A dangerous, unstable, energy-zapping post-holes to hell trail. Almost had a few medical emergencies with our ankles because of how insane the trail was. Please wear snowshoes on this - the holes will not be fun for others or yourself. |
