 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Mostly easy step overs. Still a few ice bridges in place but they won’t be there much longer. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Lots of blowdowns that need clearing out. Things are particularly gnarly right around where it breaks out into the open. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Met a couple of nice pups on the trail. Ours had trouble with one blowdown which we had to go over because the snow was too deep (for the dog) to go around. |

|
|
 | Lost and Found: |
A green sock was at the sign by the cutoff to the parking lot. Also a dog bowl is frozen into the ice by the bench on Crawford Path just before the intersection with Webster Cliff. I’ve needs to melt more before it can be moved. |

 | Comments: |
Fantastic day to be out. Mostly unstable monorail and mashed potato snow so spikes are the way to go. There’s some ice, but it’s pitted. Still some deep spots. I post-holed up to mid-thigh when I stood aside to let someone pass. Also note the monorail is super narrow high up and gets gnarly around some downed trees. |
