 | Comments: |
The trail is full of blowdowns which get progressively worse as you increase elevation eventually becoming a jumbled mess of downed trees combined with hidden mud pockets. I found it easier to depart the trail and indirectly bushwhack towards the Pliny summit. I set a bearing in a northwesterly direction bushwhacking through 4-5 inches of powder in mostly open woods then turning south with about 0.3 to the summit. The woods were primarily open making this an easy bushwhack. |
