We parked at the Mt Crescent Trailhead which has been plowed (although not for the last few days). 5 cars easily fit in the lower area. Upper area really was only plowed enough for one car. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One larger blowdown frozen to the ground below the south outlook. This will need to wait until Spring. Folks are going around it. An awkward step-over below south viewpoint that could be easily cut with a small saw. A few leaners/duck-unders between south and north viewpoints and also along Castleview Loop. |

 | Comments: |
Snowshoes went on at the car and stayed on all hike…not in the mood to change out traction when it’s this cold. Trail to Mt Crescent had seen some action, though not from snowshoers. There was drifting between south and north viewpoints so snowshoes were the right choice. Picked up Castleview Loop for the trace on the way down. |
