|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
2 OLD small blowdowns (easy to walk over)- they look like they have been here a little while :-) GORGE BROOK TRAIL of course has plenty of blazes as does the AT (GLENCLIFF TRAIL); however, we don't recall having seen any blazes on either SNAPPER or CARRIAGE- but of course the well-traveled trail is unmistakable :-) Great signage at the junctions :-) |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Met several lovely dogs... doges were loving the trails :-) |
|
 | Bugs: |
small patch of flies out near the brook (SNAPPER) at 1p but they didn't bother us. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Teal dog leash seen hanging at the sign west of the first bridge (below the DOC Lodge) on our way out |

 | Comments: |
We love this mountain and unique summit :-) We did not take a loop option, rather, we went out and back: GORGE BROOK -> SNAPPER -> CARRIAGE ROAD -> GLENCLIFF TRAIL -> Then a side trip to SOUTH PEAK :-) Winds were as forecasted (about 20mph) at the summit. Lovely sun-filled day! |
