| Comments: |
We left rocky branch parking at around 7:30. The trail was broken out as far as the start of engine hill bw but not the bushwhack it’s self. We then broke out the BW and the rest of the way to the summit. Snow averaged between 6-12†with a few sections of knee deep snow. 7 hours rt. Snowshoes are recommended, please don’t go posthole the crap out of a nice broken out trail. We saw 11 people on our way out so the trail is basically a highway. |
