| Comments: |
After being on the Wildcats with all of the ice I was surprised to see 4-6 inches of snow in the Willey range. Trail was in great shape up to Mt Tom and across to Field. Avalon trail down to Mt Avalon and the A - Z trail had some frozen slush especially in the steep rocky areas. Would be much easier to ascend then descend in the dark! |
