 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Initially I pulled into the lot by the athletic fields but wasn't 100% sure I was welcome there between the parking restriction sign and the no trespassing sign so I went a little further up the road and found the conservation area trailhead which was plowed and looked like a much better choice. |

 | Comments: |
This trail seems to get way more action so even though I carried my snowshoes and at times wished I had my elevators I ripped straight up it in my spikes. Not necessarily steep, but woof, that is some consistent gain hovering right around that 1000 feet of vert per mile threshold for 3 miles straight. |
