Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Barlow Trail wasn't broken out so I decided against the loop. Winslow was broken up by one snowshoer before me but they turned around at the view points so me and two dogs broke out the rest of the way. Defintely recommend snowshoes for the weekend, even for the road walk (which a nice local road his tractor up and down a few times on my way up to make much more manageable!).  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: The two dogs I had in tow did fine in the deep snow, it was warm enough!
