 | Comments: |
I went up this trail a week ago, on December 11, and broke trail, careful to try to lay down a nice snowshoe track. Since that time, new snow and wind obliterated the snowshoe track, and so I broke trail -- again, all the way to the summit of Liberty. The trail could use another two or three snowshoe passes to create a nice track. |
