 | Comments: |
North Imp to the lookout is well packed. From there to the connector could use some more snowshoe use. From the junction up to the AT is beautiful at this point as is the AT (but was filling in with wind and snow while I was there). Lower down below 2500 the Imp starts to deteriorate a bit with lower snow amounts but is still fine to the South parking lot. It was snowing when I left so the next couple days more snowshoe work will really make it nice. After that who knows. All in all a great outing and I would the give the condition of the loop an "A" at this point. |
