Thank goodness this was broken out last Wednesday. I was the first set of tracks since then, and some drifting covered up the trail in a few places, but it was easy to follow otherwise. The snow (like everywhere right now) is too fluffy to pack down, so snowshoes are the best bet for a while. If you are making footprints, you should wear snowshoes. About 8-10 people were on the trail today, almost all wearing snowshoes.
Trail was very nice, some limited views just above the hut. Saw a trail junction sign at Cabot’s peak, but couldn’t find the little summit sign that used to be on a tree. |
