 | Comments: |
We did not summit. Rocky Branch stream crossing after the engine hill bushwhack was just too high and risky to rock hop across. On a positive note we did see lots of moose activity on the bushwhack. This report is a few days old by now.... monorail was hard packed due to cold temps and we strapped on spikes, carried snowshoes, trail had lots of running water, needs more snow and snowshoers to fill in the posthole / ruts |
