| Comments: |
The lower trails were snow and ice free. Up high the ice is strating to build. Two friends, two dogs, and myself made this loop counter clockwise. We met another man going clockwise and said that the section of trail fron Osceola to Tripoli Rd was almost unpassable without traction. At the summit of Osceola we saw an older couple, two guys in hoodies, jeans, and sneakers, and a couple with a young child. We barebooted the whole way although there were some long stretches of ice. |
