 | Comments: |
Mt Blue Trail is 1.6 miles. 1st mile (10 miin past the cabin) is packed down snowmobile trail. From there the trail disapearred. I followed some one's snowshoe tracks for about 30 min; these tracks began traversing the mountain and turned into a moose trail. I bushwaked for over an hr to reach the summit. Very tough going and deep snow (knee to thigh high in spots). Followed the Mt Blue Trail from the summit down for about 1/3 mile than lost that trail too. Bushwacked back to my original tracks. |
