Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, Ski Patrol Warming Hut on Laurel Mtn to |
Pretty rolling. Tight Rondodendren area near the beging part of this stage. We had lots of snow with a frozen crusty layer on the top making walking very difficult, luckily the terrain was mostly flat, with two climbs worth remembering. Finding wood as the shelter area was a task since it was burried by about 3 foot of snow! The pump was running which was nice.!
Located about 50 yards from the water pump there is a spring at the bottom of the hill side. I was tired of walking through the snow, so I did not investigate what it was producing. The water pump is high in Iron, but easy to deal with.
Dress warm, some of the shelter areas are on the hillside, and the wind whips through strong at times making things a tad chilly.. take the slack out of your tarps and you will sleep nicely.
