Description

We will hike the Main Trail east and north to where it crosses County Rd 21 and back. The main challenge is a huge snowdrift that accumulates at the top of the hill down to Black Bank Creek. A second challenge is the climb back up this hill at the end of the hike. The shorter hike will turn back where the Main Trail turns east at the top on the east side of the valley. Bring icers, water and snacks. Snowshoes will almost certainly be required.
