Beautiful winter trail through open woods. A hidden gem. Only saw 3 others all day. Great ridge ascent with constant views. Trail is well broken. We bare-booted though snowshoes would have been helpful from south summit to actual summit. With coming snow, expect snowshoe conditions from the start. |
