 | Comments: |
Across from the parking area we followed an old logging road before turning into the woods, crossing a long drive to a house. Climbed to the summit, found the jar and headed towards East peak, but with the wind and falling snow after about a 1/2 hike to the next bump, we trekked back our vehicles. Snow minimal and we bare booted, but with new snow snowshoes will be necessary. |
