 | Comments: |
A 3/4 to 1 mile stretch of the Edmands Path near the top was a 45 degree sideways slope with the snow giving way under the snowshoes. Trees are bent over the path making it even more difficult. The path from Lakes of the Clouds was not viewable and we almost went for a swim in the start of the river. Couldn't find any markings until we saw a sign and determined we were on the wrong side of the river. The monorail is slippery and a group post holed it pretty well making the downhill slow. |
