 | Comments: |
Although I had heard this was a 16 mile hike, the GPS measured it at 11.8 miles. Four miles on snowmobiled roads, 1 mile breaking trail on the old road/herd path to the boundary markers and another mile bushwhack to the summit & return. The snow was deep and loose on the bushwhack with old blow-down debris and small fir/spruce trees hiding well below the snow. |
