 | Comments: |
The trail had not seen any recent travel. Trail breaking was manageable down low with only about a foot on a base. Higher up, snow depths increased to 18in with high drifts. Drifts were especially high on the AT. There is a tough pitch on the AT with ice flows, we were able to do it in snowshoes with care. We also broke out the outlook spur for a great view. Anyone headed up soon should have an easy time in our tracks. |
