Comments
Comments: This was an epic journey that included 7 miles of bushwhacking, a NH300, a NH200, a 52WAV & a NH4K! This was a LONG but rewarding trek that took us nearly 15 hours! The weather couldn't have been better & we encountered nearly every type of terrain Mother Nature could throw at us! It was short-sleeve temps & we post-holed in thigh deep snow in one area on our way to Moriah. The views from Shelburne- Moriah & Moriah were amazing!!!
