 | Comments: |
A barebooter mucked up the trail for a mile or more. Snowshoes are required from the get go. Three hikers preceded me cleaning up the trail in snowshoes, but the rapidly warming tempsand lack of a well established monorail [not monorail] made for a difficult slog back in the afternoon. Broken trail extends to Nancy only. I Broke trail to Norcross, but with time constraints and snow conditions, turned back there. A lovely day in the mountains regardless, with temps at 19C |
