| Comments: |
Spotted my bike at the beginning of Haystack Rd and then parked my truck at Beaver Brook XC trail. Took the XC Tr to Gale river Rd and then up Gale River Tr. Trail had been previously packed out and new snow was a trace to 1-2". Trail remained this way throughout the whole loop and snowshoes were not needed at all. Bare booted up to the steep sections and then put micro spikes on. Spikes remained on till the bottom of North Twin Tr. |
