Sentinel Mountain via Sentinel Mountain Trail
Date of Hike: Thursday, February 26, 2009
Trail Conditions: Wet packed powder
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes
Comments:
Side road where I usually park was not plowed, however there were a few plowed out areas (for runoff) along the main road just before the side road entrance, so there is some room to park.
I broke out the trail to the summit, sinking 6-12" with snowshoes. Lower portions had rather sticky snow. Trail is now well packed. I cut some traverses into the steep section, so it should be a bit easier to ascend.
No significant blowdowns visible.
Logging operation that was ongoing in November is not currently active.
