 | Comments: |
The route up Pine Bend Brook and Scaur Ridge Trails was very difficult to follow with infrequent blazes and signs still buried in the snow. We lost the trail in many places during the ascent. Be wary if you follow any existing snowshoe tracks out there. Wondered around on the ridge for a while trying to find each blaze. Found the winter feeding ground of a local moose including a lot of tracks, scat and chewed trees. The ridge between the Tripyramids was easier to navigate though poorly marked as well. Descending Sabbaday Brook Trail was fine until we had to start the steam crossings. Followed some ski trails through the woods trying to avoid as many crossings as possible, though that was only partially successful. |
