It’s a wrap! All of our trails are cleared. For now! Four JBB*H members cleared the rest of the Neil Creek Trail up to the ice caves near Crystal Lake. This is on the southwest end of the Snowies accessed through the small town of Garneill. We’re so fortunate to have two certified sawyers and two swampers willing to go up and finish the job. It’s a beautiful view with not much room at the top.

JBB*H finished clearing the Ulhorn aka Half Moon Trail in the Snowies. It was a long day, we went clear to the top where we could look down on Swimming Woman. Over 40 trees were cut down including the 20+ trees cut on the first trail work day, and the 19 we cut on this trip. Weather was great except for the brief rain and sleet storm which lasted long enough for us to dig out our slickers. Switched out the packhorse at Half Moon. Handy to have versatile horses that can switch between packing and riding.
