Major parking lot at depot was not accessible- small
Lot available off of Rt 302. But with less car parking spots the lot fills up quickly |

Ice - Blue, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular, Snow/Ice - Postholes |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes, Light Traction |
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Water crossings are no longer “snow bridged” First water crossing was accomplished with care. The second water crossing there is a great herd path that brings you to a great place to cross. BUT with pending snow the trail could be lost, but if you make a new path you should find the better crossing |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Only one blow down between Field and A-Z Trail and easy to get over. |

 | Comments: |
The trail to Field was okay- but between Field and Willey the worse I have ever seen. Post HOLE Hell. I wore spikes from start to finish- with the pending Friday snow- hopefully enough to correct the mess. I am glad I won’t need to break trail between these peaks.
Hopefully the pending snow will help improve the POST HOLE
mess on these trails
