Well we parked and attempted to park in the lot but my little suv did not have the clearance. we thought someone barebooted the trail but they only went about 20 yards and turned around. We broke from the entire way from About 4†to about a foot in some places. I don’t think anyone has been there since snow fell. The woods were great though! We saw lots of bunny tracks up high and it looked like a party in places. It was rough when the snow hid rocks where your ankles went one way but you were going another. The views were amazing up top! The snow was so powdery so it was like sliding down on hard rocks and half skiing at times. Either way it was nice day out to redline. |
