Comments
Comments: Approach from Bethel side; look for sign for pooh corners farm/Bog road about 5-6 miles from Bethel; A great day out; first day of the season with decent snow cover for me! First on the trail since the last storm so a nice 6 inches of powder all the way - snowshoes perfect to take care of untracked trail! Due to late start turned around at wilderness boundary so the last .8 mile to the summit is still nice fine powder for others to enjoy. A great day out in the woods with sunny skies - boy have I missed the snow! Nice track up to boundary but will take a few more trips to consolidate - a great hike for those that haven't ventured this trail!
