Comments
Comments: Looks like you can park at the front of the train station but I parked to the right in the lot. Would recommend crampons over snowshoes. Ice below the snow in spots and the snow was solid and crusty anyway. Tried both and crampons were a lot easier to maneuver. Avalon Trail is well broken and looked like A-Z toward Mt Tom was also broken but only saw a single set of prints going from Avalon to Field.
