Yikes, this trail is a hot mess.
Mashed potatoes all day that just got worse as the way went on. 3 of us carried snowshoes, but there was never really enough coverage to warrant putting them on. Trail (especially in the middle section) is really bony. The rest of the track is pretty narrow.
Need a good snowfall to reset the track on this one. Godspeed if you’re heading out there tomorrow. |
