the road was the most troublesome part as the almost 6 miles were a complete sheet of ice requiring extra care. I was fortunate to have the fish and game boys help get sand under my car for the parking area, but it could have been worse as they did not sand until 8:45 am |

| Comments: |
an moderate and enjoyable trail, but the access road was icy. I did notice some tracks heading towards the bulge and the horn, and I did my best to pack down the trail from the cabin to the outhouse! |
