| Comments: |
Snow is a little skimpy on the lower forth of the trail, with some wet spots (easily avoided) and some rocks/roots sticking up. Everyone today was in snowshoes, which were great as the snow got deeper. The lower portion of the trail might be better in light traction until there is a little more snow. There is still some ice around the fire tower, but it was not a problem. Many thanks to my good-natured partner on the trail Bruce for trying to help me get some photos of snow falling off the trees. You can see the very funny results in the photo link below. :) |
