Comments
Comments: Overall trail is wet and muddy to start, ice pack as you ascend then mushy snow. I used all equipment. Started with bare boots then to traction and then to snowshoes. Overall easy hike. Guaranteed wet feet without prior footwear so be prepared.
There are definitely a few moose roaming. Lots of tracks up and down the trail that looked to be a couple days old. There were multiple size tracks so likely at least a couple roaming. Didn’t see any but I was searching hard :)
