 | Comments: |
A fairly well packed snowshoe, cross country track on Cold Spring Trail which then turned into a single up & down cross country ski track, ending at the junction of Oak Ridge and High Ridge trails. After that, the trail had been undisturbed. We hiked the rest of the way in our microspikes sinking to our lower shins. Snowshoes above 2000 feet would have been better. Saw many wildlife tracks including bear. We didn't see anyone on the trail all day. |
