Rocky Branch to the bushwack
Snowshoes are preferred as the trail, as of the 22nd in excellent condition, very little post holing. Do bring spikes as there are several steep sections that snow shoes may be challenged, esp on the descent [??? mountain snowshoes will outperform spikes].
Do take the bushwack, far less dangerous than the main trail. |
