Trail is in pretty good shape considering most of it is in a wilderness area. Couple of easy stepovers. |

 | Comments: |
Nice day with Dj and Jackson out in the woods. Not much snow down low. The new snow is powder with a crust over it, which was helpful for traction on the steep sections. We carried our snowshoes all day, there were only a few short sections where they might have made a small difference, but it was pretty borderline and not worth stopping and switching traction for a few minutes. |
