| Comments: |
What a great day. No wind and beautiful views. The Sandwich trail was well packed from snowshows and made for easy going. Drakes Brook was a little less packed but still well broken out and easily traversed with Microspikes, snow shows would have been better to further pack the trail. The Smartsbrook trail had been hiked but not by many and snow shoes would be recommended. |
