Trails Hiked

  • Hiked with a dog
The road to trailhead is closed, so we hiked up from Baker lake road instead. This involves a very strenuous bushwhack followed by a hard snowshoe. Snow is very soft/wet, so even with snowshoes on I was knee deep most of the time.
Did you find this trip report helpful?

it is not that long - but it is certainly slow because of all the fighting with the brush - https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1651105279
