 | Comments: |
Zealand Road is still not completely consolidated, but it was an easy walk to the trailhead. Hale Brook trail had a dusting of snow and is easy to follow. There were bareboot tracks with some post holes higher up. Snowshoes worked well, and I was grateful for the televators.The sidehill section is very narrow. A great, chilly walk! |
