 | Comments: |
No snow or ice worth mentioning! But the trade off is nearly three miles of very wet trails with a bunch of blow downs that are seeing herd paths develop around them. Some of the ladders are also in very rough shape, but navigable.
All in all, ok conditions for mid spring if you’re looking to ditch the spikes and stretch your legs. |
