Animal Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Climb: Mt. Townsend-Just the northern trail approach Date of Climb: 12/18/2005 Trip Report: Well as you all might know, Mt Townsend is just a hike up, and it was this easy on Sunday the 18th. I was introducing my girlfriend to "late fall hiking" not winter hiking since it was not technically winter to some of you. But the exciting or scarry part of the trip was the drive down the snow packed road. I thought Subaru's were supposed to be "snow cars", well they are, but on sheet ice on steep forest servide roads they tend to turn perpendicular to the road and slide. So in hind site, it is possible to drive some of the forest servide roads, but to make a long story short I now own chains! Have a good winter everyone! Gear Notes: Obviously no chains Approach Notes: Trail was easy, only about two feet of snow in places (drifts) Edited December 23, 2005 by Animal Quote
