 | Comments: |
Quite a difference a day makes.
Trail is a rock hard sidewalk. The only exception is the upper part of the trail in the hardwoods before the left turn into the conifers. There’s a section that’s been postholed pretty well by at least one moose.
An inch or so of fresh powder coated the trail on the way down. |
