 | Comments: |
Three of us packed out the Blueberry Ridge. Old snowshoe tracks of a single hiker appeared and disappeared on Blueberry Ledge and Rollins trail, obliterated by drifting snow. It is now packed out. Dicey Mill is well broken by four other hikers. Were able to scramble up the ledges with our snowshoes. A stellar day with mild temps, great views to the Whites, and no wind. Thanks to Steve and Russ for sharing the work on the trail. |
