Definitely saw it all today over this almost 18 mile trek. Conditions were terrible and slow going. I bare booted up to Robert’s and that’s where the fun started. I put on my snowshoes (Dion’s worked perfect here) & broke trail for about 10 miles over to Faraway, up to Shaw where I changed into spikes, but then I needed them for Turtleback as well. Yay spring! Someone ahead of me post holed the entire 9 miles that I broke trail to Shaw. I have so many questions. Coming out was very muddy, entire sections of where the trail is a road is collapsing, many breaking ice, bridges, very slippery mud. Lots of water on trail at lower elevations. Still lots of snow up high, some drifts as high as 4 or 5 feet still on the High Ridge Trail. Still somehow one of the best days ever! I got to meet cookies on top and I’ve been reading her trail reports for a while, and it was great to know where the name came from. Your dog is such a sweetie! Hope to see you out there again! |
