Tried to hike up to Hanging Rock overlook. With two little kids. The result was we could not make the 0.8. Due to drifts. It was kind of fun. It was mild (Sunday afternoon), but the drifts ranged from 2 to 5 feet. I am not a light person, but I was mostly able to walk on top. A few people had been through, one group that day. In the end, we got a stretch of the trail on the north side of the ridgeline, and it was too much and too late in the day to get to the hut.
A few questions about the Alleghany Trail. What is its length? Where does it begin/terminate? It was well-marked on the little bit we explored. Seems like it would be a great and very quiet (i.e. almost no other foot traffic) especially in the spring. Would you recommend it? Why or why not?
