Late start, spur of the moment try for Wolf. Trail has seen no foot traffic at all and I ended up breaking trail in snow conditions that ranged from 3’ high drifts to wet rocky trail and everything in between. After taking 1 hour to go 1 mile, I knew Wolf would need to wait for another day. Snow was powdery and soft for the most part and is packed out for the first mile along with a couple unintentional butt slides on the steep sections near the trailhead on Rt 112. |
