Amazingly beautiful day to be out and trail started a little better than I thought it would be but there's a little of everything from bare roots and rocks to severe post holing in snowshoes. The initial climb to the notch next to Hedgehog hill was easy, not so much the flats between there and the lean-to cutoff, the drifting is crazy and it really slows things down. After the lean to cutoff going back up hill not bad until you get about 1/4 mile of the top then things get bad again. A real slog in the last 500 yards. Once you come out to the far side it's melted enough to find dry rock. |
