 | Comments: |
Blueberry Mtn & Old Stage are snowmobile trails, and are packed down very well. While we wore snowshoes the whole time today, snowshoes are not at all needed on the snowmobile trails. On the others (today for us, the BRT Straightback to Anna & the Red south from Anna), snowshoes were a *very* good idea. We were only on unwalked trail for a short distance, but even with snowshoes, there we sank beyond knee depth a whole bunch of times.
A really good day. The next three days look great too. Enjoy!
Also, thank you for this website. |
