 | Comments: |
Saturday night overnight at Zealand Falls Hut with group of six. Zealand Road was completely dry save for some patches of snow in the middle of the road approaching the Zealand Trail-head. Snow monorail for a singificant portion of Zealand Trail with some patches of ice - microspikes or the like highly recommended. Several stream crossings but nothing impassable without some careful rock hopping. Only eight guests Saturday night in the hut including our six. |
