Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Parked at 7 Dwarf's. $10 in the mailbox. Unless you fill out an envelope at home, bring a pencil. A pen doesn't work when it's very cold! Met Franz, the owner of 7 Dwarf's. He spoke highly of the hiking community and said the fee helped him cover the cost of the property taxes. He was very nice.

Comments: We bare booted until the bushwhack. Snowshoes up and down from there. The trail is soft but well packed and snowshoes worked well. We saw about a dozen people on the trail including 2 skiers.
