| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Lot not plowed. Mushy messy snow from car traffic but I didn’t see anyone having a issue. |
|
| Surface Conditions: |
Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular, Snow - Drifts |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes, Light Traction |
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
All were either snow/ice bridged or rock hoppable. No issues today (except that I tripped over my dog and fell and a glove got wet!). :-) |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There is a head height blowdown that someone partially sawed about 5/10ths of a mile from the trailhead. There is another head height blowdown (I’m 5’1â€) about 1.5 miles from the trailhead. There is an overhead/high blowdown about 1/10th of a mile from the left turn to Cedar Brook trail heading towards Hancock Loop. There is a chest height blowdown a few steps after the high blowdown at about the 1.9 mile mark. |

| Dog-Related Notes: |
Took mine and saw one other. Trail conditions fine - no visible ice. I Mushered mine up and she had fun. |

| Bugs: |
None |

| Lost and Found: |
Saw a frozen water filled lime green Nalgene about 1/2mile up the North Peak trail. Hung it on a branch. Saw a black printed buff hanging on a tree not far from the turn onto Hancock Loop - after the water crossing. |
