Couldn’t start hiking until around 3:00, so went for something short and new to us. We had planned (hoped) that we could come up Crew Cut and then loop Liebeskind’s Loop, George’s Gorge, and Crew Cut to clean up some hanging chads…this didn’t happen as the trailbreaking was arduous. No sign of anyone being on these trail all winter. The ski trail that crosses .25 miles from the road is also untracked. We made the smart decision to call it a day at Lila’s Ledge and save the rest of the loop for later.
Note: the trail on GaiaGPS doesn’t match up the the blue blazing in several places. We tried to follow the blazes, but many are missing or are oriented incorrectly. As a result, if you decide to take advantage of our track be advised that it might not match up with the “trail” in a few places. |
