Ben Wood Mtn. - March 1, 2007

Another nice day out on snowshoes, this time to the small mountain at the north end of Pack Forest in Warrensburg. The "trail" is an old tote road, which we were surprised to find was groomed as a snowmobile trail. There was no traffic while we were there, but the footing was like walking on a road surface. The walk through the woods is pleasant and the view is a reward for the short hike.
Not a trail but an old tote road - and groomed for snowmobiles in winter
