Comments
Comments: Glencliff trail: Several blowdowns, starting about 2 miles from trailhead and continuing to the junction with Carriage Road.

Carriage Road from the junction to the summit had many trees bent over the trail - unclear whether they will recover or will need to be trimmed/removed.

BOTH: trees need to be trimmed fully 12 feet from the soil trailbed: six feet for snow, six feet for a hiker.

Gorgeous day, incredible conditions. Deep powder! In 42 years I have never seen so much snow in February. Snowshoes are a MUST.
