Comments
Comments: Great hike. Trail was broken but not fully packed, so we wore snowshoes door to door. Appreciated for the extra traction on the steeps, and there were a few drifts near the top above treeline. In that final stretch, the trail isn't entirely clear, so we followed back-country skiiers' tracks to find our way up to the final little stretch through the woods onto the main slopes near the summit.
