| beginning of groomed 757 |
Comments: Explored this area at the suggestion of Dave Hannibal who groomed it last week. initially tried to acces via FR 1601, trucks were loading logs at 16 jct. on a hunch explored from 395 & found 757, also groomed. rd from 395 is unmarked, 2.4 miles south from Seneca, only road heading east, looks like this (subaru probably won't be parked there):
took purple line on above map. another option would be green. log removal will continue for awhile, also on the 757.
labeled this flat & beginner for the area in the valley. small slope getting in & out, the 757 access much shorter.
depending on grooming, snowmobile tracks & conditions, several loop variations are possible. loved skiing around the valley. not highly traveled. lovely views toward strawberry mtns.
