Nice wide trail system, we hit South first and its superior view north and east was a joy to behold. There is a picnic table and we heard there is a geocache nearby. The trail was bare at first but within minutes there was packed snow and ice, light traction is necessary to reduce your risk of a nasty fall. We were glad we had our studs. Meet a few people along the way and saw a couple of dogs too. Very nice trail system with bumps that have nice views. Well North's summit has no views but there are some lookouts along thew way up. We did the loop counter clockwise to go up the narrow and steeper path. Looks like a nice place to go xc skiing when there is more snow. (Nice to see Zimmer & Whitten out on the trails) |
