 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
We cleared a few blowdowns and another hiker cleared virtually the rest that could be done. There are lots of blowdowns that can’t be dealt with because they’re frozen to the ground. Most are passable now, just a few that people are walking around up on the ridge. |

 | Comments: |
Trail was perfect for rock spikes today. Ice starts right at the trailhead. Through the hardwoods there was a mixture of bare ground, packed snow, and flow ice. Once into the evergreens, the trail was perfect packed snow. Fast going. Temps were warming on the way out and there had been significant melting down low. |
