 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked across the road from Seven Dwarfs Motel, left $10 in mailbox (or under wiper, in an envelope with info), continued up Little River Road on foot. After a short walk, the road branches. I went right, over the two bridges (no spikes/crampons allowed on bridges). I took the first left immediately after the bridge and found it to be blocked off with tape and signs. Went back to road and continued up to find another trail on the left, maybe a few hundred feet further, that wasn't posted. Easy to follow, connects to Haystack Road. Met the owner (I think?) of Seven Dwarfs when I got back and confirmed what I did. |

|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Recent storm made a mess on the first few miles of North Twin Trail that follow Little River. Had to remove multiple small trees from the trail that had broken, many others were hanging in trail from weight of snow. Trail is much better now, but be prepared to push through some branches. |

There was a seemingly friendly, slightly vocal dog at Seven Dwarfs. May or may not be outside. |

 | Comments: |
It looked like I was the first one up the Twins after the storm this week. Didn't see anyone else all day. Probably ranged from a few inches to about of foot of fresh snow. Trail is partially broken out now. I would expect a few drifts, I noticed my trail was starting to blow over in a few spots on my way back. |
