| Comments: |
trail started out dry on the rt112 side and became increasingly wet and snowy. The snow line seems to be around 2500'. The trail is heavily post holed and the snow is still waist deep in the culs at higher elevations. Snowshoes may have helped but the snow is heavy, wet, and granular. There really wasn't a well established monorail |
