We found deep snow on this howling wind, wintry Sunday! Snowshoes from about .2 mile in to the end. Deepest snow was above 2000 ft. on The Link, Cabin-Cascades, Log Cabin Cutoff, and Randolph Path... 6 to 8 to sometimes 12 inches of dry, unconsolidated powder on these fun, sometimes rough and scrambly trails. Two of us broke out all of these trails, so they are only kind of broken. Without snowshoes you will be very sad.
By the time we reached the heavily traveled Amphibrach, we had had enough of a workout for the day and took that back to Appalachia. Fun day on some of RMC's gems! |
