Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Marlboro trail access road is unplowed and not maintained in winter. AWD vehicles could pass through today with care. Someone laid drenches/tracks when snow was malleable/soft, which helps the drive now on frigid days. The unplowed parking lot was empty when we arrived at 8:30 AM and only one car when we left around 2:30 PM. Friendly reminder not to block the access road. There was a small sedan parked blocking the way and we had to wait a bit for the owner to arrive.

Comments
Comments: Marbro Trail was broken out by a couple people in previous days, but it still needs more foot traffic, as it is unconsolidated. From the looks of it, Dublin Trail had seen a little more traffic. White Arrow trail was pretty well packed, and White Dot was a packed down, clear highway.

Blue sky, clear views, and minimal wind made for a nice double traverse day. A bit chilly (-8°F at the trailhead) but warmed up throughout the day. Happy trails!
