3.5 - Brainard Lake Snowshoe
Rating 3.5 of 5.0
Difficulty 2.0 of 5.0
Solitude: 0.0 of 5.0
Notes:
(weekdays/early, snowshoe)
Beautiful sunny day. Hoards of people but thinned out at about 2 miles in. Really windy and cold near the lake. Took the dogs and had to keep them on leash quite a bit. Might consider leaving them at home next time. Could be great snowshoe to bring visitors on.
