Loch Katrine Bench 2.18.03
Taking the risk as being viewed a copycat, I thought Mike Collins report on Twin Peaks interesting. Having already been to Loch Katrine I thought a return trip was in order. The road was without snow until 2600ft, and progressily growing deeper until the road ends near 4100ft. Snowshoes were a must and extra float would have been helpful. I had not planned for an attempt on Twin Peaks and with heavy snow and what looks like a tricky approach to the two summits, I was content to have my lunch on the bench that overlooks Loch Katrine. It was very nice to see so much new snow. Trip Length approx 10 miles roundtrip Total time 3:50 Total climb 2500ft
