 | Comments: |
It was a very busy day at the Ravine Lodge Road, so I opted to ascend via Snapper and descend the Gorge Brook. I only saw one other gentleman carrying microspikes and they ultimately were not needed for the ice. The sections were short and covered in a thin layer of mud that provided a decent amount of traction.
The views were amazing and I enjoyed relative solitude on the Snapper Trail for awhile. Gorge Brook had more action than any other time than I can recall. It was a good day to be out. |
