 | Comments: |
Nice quiet trails for a Sunday Afternoon. I took a counter clockwise direction on the AMLT. Trail was initially churned up a bit from bare-booters. About half way around I passed two others on snowshoes coming from the opposite direction. Trails should be pretty good after travel by 3 pairs of snow shoes. I ascended to the summit up the Old Carriage road, which hadn't seen any recent travel. The auto road had a great packed trail the rest of the way to the summit. Went out the the North outlook despite limited visibility; trail was somewhat packed. Snow shoes are the way to go on these trails for now. |
