Fun trail. Our group of 3 did it as a hike up and sled down in the dark trip. Sledding was iffy on top half, bottom half was a hoot. Still some exposed rocks and roots. We left the trail just as packed and slippery as it was on our way up, so please don't hate us Missile sledders. No poop around at the trail head, like I heard in past years was an issue there. Trail seemed a lot more than the "gentle grade" I read it described as. The steep short sections were icy but nothing micros couldn't handle. |
