Comments
Comments: The trail, up to the last 0.2 mile to the top, was quite choppy from postholers. I wore snowshoes roundtrip, and as a result the whole trail is well broken out. Not 100% consolidated though, so unless the area gets a thaw/freeze cycle, I'd still recommend snowshoes. The last 0.2 mile was broken out by snowmobiles, which came from Cherry Mtn. Rd, so no issues there.

The summit was wooded with a few outlooks, including a really good one toward the Presidential Range to the east. Skipped Owl's Head due to lack of time, so I'll have to do that one at some point in the future.
