 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I'd never seen this before - there were cars parked along Ravine Lodge Road the entire way from the summer parking area to the winter parking lot. There was available space in the winter lot when I arrived, which worked out well since I was planning to park there the whole time. Ravine Lodge Road is in good condition, drivable for any vehicle. |

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
This trail is intended as a winter bypass, and so it has plenty of debris, low blowdowns, brushy areas, and a few wet sections. None of which would be an issue under a couple feet of snow. There are signs at both ends. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
No issues. |
|
 | Bugs: |
They didn't bother me too much. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Nothing. |

 | Comments: |
Despite Put's Path being specifically designed as a winter bypass of the road, I decided to get it done for my redlining now since I had extra time today. About 75-80% of the trail is in the woods, and those sections are quite pleasant - gradual grades and generally good footing. The remainder of the trail, however, is just out in the open - on the high bank above the road. These sections are extremely brushy, with only a faint trail visible, but the trail parallels the road the whole way so you can't get lost. This was still a very quick redline, and now I'm interested to see what the trail looks like during its intended time of use! |
