 | Comments: |
Ravine lodge rd was plowed but both gaits were closed. Bare booted all the way to the lodge. Gorge brook trail was clearly defined but had not been hiked since most recent snowfalls. Had to break trail almost all the way up. Couple large drifts just before tree line. Turned around on the summit ridge due to late hour and not wanting to hike in the dark. It was a cold one today. Only saw 1 other group of 2 hikers who passed me on the way up. Wore snowshoes from the ravine lodge on. |
