 | Comments: |
Only saw three people on the trail today (Mt Rowe Trail) and one in the parking lot in the morning.
Mt Rowe Trail was well packed. Microspikes sufficient.
North Spur Trail only had cross country ski tracks. Snow shoes needed. Well maintained.
Benjamin Weeks Trail upper loop only had one set of old prints in the snow. We made a good trail with snow shoes for whoever wants to use it. Lower loop of Benjamin Weeks well tracked and could use microspikes. No blowdowns. No issues.
GES Nature Trail well tracked. Microspikes sufficient. |
