| Comments: |
HT starts pretty steep, and this section was pretty much dry (patch of snow at bottom). Once the trail starts to level off, and eventually turn north, the patches of snow increased. Continued to follow trail as it turned northward before starting B/W. Put on snowshoes for the B/W; forest was still covered with snow. Mostly supportive in snowshoes, but did break through a few times to a foot or more. Found tree with large red A, but no jar as noted by others. Followed snowshoe path back down (advantage of snow cover). |
