Saw Dylan at the Zealand hut on his return from Zealand/W Bond/ Bond and his experience suggested a shorter hike might be more fun (see his post). Went out the next day and hiked Zealand on a glorious day (despite dire forecast). It was beautiful. Lots of snow, drifting snow, a few areas where the gps was consulted to find the trail. Snowshoes the entire day. Nothing particularly difficult from 302 to the top of Zealand. By the way, we had no difficulty finding the Zealand sign attached to the tree at the top of Zealand although it was at about knee height with all the snow. |
