| Comments: |
Other than a few blowdowns the trail is fine - and really quite dry - until about 1/2 a mile from the upper junction with the Mt. Coe trail where the snow starts. From hereon it is rough, wet and difficult. Especially the section from the junction is challenging. Intermittent mono-rail sections - very unstable - and significant amounts of running water on the trail.
Snowshoes or any other kind of traction device will not really help. |
