 | Comments: |
From the ski area parking, trails on the north side are muddy. The Semuhenna trail just before the junction with the West Side trail has several large ice flows, not easily avoided. It is probably better to bypass this section on the Summit Road. Upper Old Indian is fine. I did not carry traction. The Summit Road is clear (other than the ski area crossings) and currently car free. |
