| Comments: |
I had previously only hiked Table Mountain in the summer; it is fantastic to hike this in winter! The road walk is groomed for snowmobiles (I only saw a handful of them when I was almost back to the parking lot) so it was fast and easy. As you would expect, the Attitash Trail was not broken out. It was consistently shin deep crusty snow down low and knee deep crusty snow up high. So the ascent was slow. The scrambles, near the ledges, were challenging but possible. I would highly recommend this hike! |
