 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
FR 55 from granville was only plowed part way. there was little enough snow and mud that we drove to fr50 and parked there. was glad i was in my truck. 4wd might have made it to the summer trailhead. FR 59 on the west side of the LT is plowed partway up, but requires a fairly long road walk. |

 | Comments: |
clark brook trail had been tracked out by skiers until past the first water crossing. trail not well packed,snow as wet and we sank an inch or so. as we ascended, snow became deeper and we sank up to 6 inches or more. Clark brook trail had many bright blue blazes and was easy to follow. long trail has very few white blazes; the corridor was indistinct and difficult to follow. no sign of any previous traffic on the long trail. snow got drier as we climbed, but still unconsolidated. not fast. decided to turn around on wilson and not go on to breadloaf. great hike with wayne. |
