 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Beyond the split of the bad weather bypass and the Monroe trail (0.6 miles from the hut clearing) up to the summit, the blazes were very hard to find at time. The drifting snow covered most of the tracks, so I was constantly looking for the path through the trees. |

 | Comments: |
Blustery on top, but still a great hike. Winter parking adds on 0.8 miles to this trip. Blazes good in the beginning, but we’re wanting in the last mile. Only met one other person. Used only Hillsounds as the freezing rain a couple of days ago. Though I did bring my snowshoes, I did not need them. |
