Mt. Hale via Hale Brook Trail
Date of Hike: Tuesday, December 24, 2008
Trail Conditions: Powder
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes
Comments:
Parking lot across the road/east of Zealand Road was plowed.
Zealand Road is *not* plowed - no signs of any logging activity. Borderline barebootable to the Hale Brook Trail trailhead - single width.
Hale Brook Trail was broken out...for the first 100 yards. Thereafter, we broke trail to the summit, powder depths ranging from knee high (most of the way) to stomach deep in some drifts. Trail is well packed now. First signifcant brook crossing bridged, second partial.
Some leaners/windowmakers, but no visible blowdowns.
No sign of any traffic from Lend-A-Hand or Fire Warden's. Sugarloaf Trail also didn't appear to be broken out.
