Thanks for the heads up and the link to the additional details.
Looking at the winter trail map, there are three cabins between XC trail #51 and snowshoe trail #73: Philippe, Des Pins & Renaud. Any idea which one will be linked by the new trail?
The summer trail map doesn't seem to leave any hints as to the path of the new trail.
No I don't. I'm not as familiar with the trails or cabins up there.
I think some of them are for sleeping and only one is a day shelter. I'm guessing it's that one.
The person I spoke to was a little vague in her description of just where the trail wandered.
According to the winter trail map, Philippe and Des Pins are cabins while Renaud is a shelter. If your guess is correct, the new snowshoe trail should hook up with the Renaud shelter.
