Still not enough coverage in this area for snowshoes. :( About 3 in. or so and I bare-booted round-trip.
From the parking, I did the short clockwise loop over Pitcher, where views were amazing today. Back at the lot, I walked the highway a short distance to Limerick Rd. and followed that up the cabin, then hopped off the road at the cairn shortly after and followed the Andorra Forest boundary signs up to the recognized high point. The latest register was placed in 2019 and it looks to have gotten wet at some point. I returned via the same route.
One other person had been ahead of me on Hodgeman, but didn't go to the high point (looks like they walked a dog around the loop that the road makes). Several boot tracks on Pitcher. |
