Comments
Comments: From Littleton, Rt. 135 north, Union Rd., to Miller Rd., to Mountain Rd. (all plowed / sanded). Parked on Mt. Road at plowed bump out under power line swarth.

The power line swarth had a "no trespassing sign"… but a mere few yards to the right, was a legit snomo trail entrance, so we began up the swarth using the snomo road. After a short bit, we continued uphill along the swarth. Just as we were cresting the HOL and thinking about beginning a bushwhack, a logging road presented itself, appearing to head in the direction we wanted to go. There were no prohibiting signs, so we followed this logging road through recently logged terrain. This path brought us directly up to the summit area.

We followed our snowshoe tracks back exactly the same way.

Fun day hiking three Dalton peaks with Schorman and Lady Di.
