 | Comments: |
About 4 inches of new snow at the trailhead, with about 6 new inches closer to the summit. Some drifting in the birch glades. When we arrived at the first glade, all signs of last weekend's hikers were lost in the drifts. Took us a bit to find where the trail left the north end of the glade. We marked the trail so that others would not follow our dead-ends. Upon entering the glade, keep left. |
