 | Comments: |
It was a great day to hike the bigelows. It was sunny with an undercast The fire wardens trail was in great shape. There werent many fallen trees or hanging limbs in the way. The trail was previously broken out to a point above the moose falls tentsite. From that point on, I had to break trail alone through deep snow drifts. There were four people out today, so the trails are well broken out now. Conditions for the bigelows are pretty good right now with few blow downs and broken out trail. |
