 | Comments: |
Access road is easy - 75% free of ice/snow. This may tempt to leave snowshoes behind. Don't! It will be very hard work on the trail without them. There is still at least 4' of snow on the top-half of the trail. The snow on the steeply angled section along the ravine is getting soft and unstable. Some caution is advised and some sliding should be anticipated. |
