| Comments: |
I needed the northern segment of Livermore Tr for my WMNF trace (55.1%) and my dog needed the Tripyramids for his NH48, so off we went. My hat stayed frozen the whole time and formed icicles on the brim, so I'm guessing it stayed below 32. :) I brought my spikes but did not deploy them today.
- Livermore Tr is very pretty with lots of green moss in the upper elevations. It's rocky/rough and muddy for some parts, and other parts are fire road-esque. There's one spot where it gets a bit skinny over an embankment that may get sketchy when there's more snow and ice on the ground.
- Scaur Ridge Tr is a delight - well maintained and easy grades. Thank you maintainers!
- Pine Bend Brook was steep and there were a few spots that my pup had to think about for a few moments before navigating, but there were no issues with the minimal ice on the trail.
- Mt Tripyramid Tr between the peaks was so short! Not too much to report on this one. |
