| Comments: |
Light traction was all that was needed. Some pretty severe postholes along the route, a couple of which were impressively deep. Meet 2 hikers as we descended from Tom and second pair descending from Field as we were on our way up. The latter were kind enough to knock a lot of heavy snow /slush off the trees as they went. Thank you! The section down from Field was slippery.
CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG!
Critter is small, so perhaps not as "productive" as some of the larger canines, but how tough is it to bring a bag and pack it with you (or leave it to retrieve on your return if you're hiking a loop) or flip it off the trail? |
