 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
As rocket21 mentioned yesterday, Ravine Lodge Road is extremely icy, particularly the parking/turnaround area. We arrived @9am-ish, and there were many cars parked on Sawyer Highway, at the bottom of Ravine Road. My jeep is okay driving up the icy road, so we continued up. There were quite a few cars parked in the parking area outside of the gate, and a few on the side of the road. There were also a few that were stuck and trying to back down/turn around. The three vehicles that we saw having trouble all ended up getting back down the road thankfully! |

 | Comments: |
As mentioned above, Ravine Lodge Road is extremely icy, so absolutely need traction from the start. We wore Hillsounds start to finish. Trail conditions were sweet today! It was a packed down highway, only a few post holes off to the side, did not cause any issues at all. No views at the summit today, but still an absolute amazing day on the Moose! |
