 | Comments: |
Sawyer River Road well packed by snowmobile traffic - barebootable. Signal Ridge Trail down low has some exposed rock/dirt sections, but otherwise well packed. Bushwhack around first water crossing broken out, but not necessary, as crossing is now ice bridged. Light traction seemed adequate for most, but I did the whole out and back on snowshoes. Some drifting up high. |
