 | Comments: |
Some part of these trails were packed nice and one could use traction. The problem however was that post holes left large sections of the trails a huge mess. We opted to wear our snow shoes all day because it seemed the safest option given the amount of post holes and depth. Not a rant but want others to be prepared. I think we’ve all left our snow shoes home at least once. |
