Do you guys know anything about road/trail closures up there in Winter?
I heard from someone that a ‘few tracks’ at closed.. not sure if that means Walkers or for vehicle access.
You’re not supposed to walk on the groomed ski trails in the snow season and most of these tracks are cross country ski trails.
Beware the swamp lol. Thats all l will say. Had an awesome time naving through it.
Pudding basin?
The south end of the village trail is a bit overgrown, but still s great adventure.
