| Comments: |
Trail has been barebooted pretty badly. Now that I went up and down with my snowshoes there's a descent path all the way up to Mount Surprise. There appeared to be more and more postholing after this. The trail wasn't in awful shape but it was more than I wanted to contend with late in the day with a storm moving in so I turned back a couple tenths of a mile after Mount Surprise. |
