I've been winter hiking since 2012 and honestly this is the worst trail I've ever been on. Post hole palooza. I don't want to be a gate keeper to winter hiking, but really, buy some snowshoes. It makes your experience 10x better and the experience of everyone after you 100x better. Falling into one of the deeper holes could cause some real damage. |
