| Comments: |
Trail was in great shape. A few inches of new/drifted snow on the trail and a few deeper drifts in places. The water crossings are not bridged. We avoided the 1st one by crossing at the road and bushwacking back to the trail on the otherside of the stream. The 2nd water crossing was shallow and rock hoppable. Poles recommended! We bare booted the road walk but used snowshoes for the bushwack and trail. |
