Return along the Bushwack
We were going to take herd path down Herbert Brook to Lake Colden as our return route, but could not find it after 15-20 minutes of searching. So, we decided that the safest option was to retrace our steps. The return bushwack was much much much easier, given that we now had a packed trail to follow. The difference between untrodden snow and a packed trail makes all the difference in the world. We literally zoomed back over the 1+ kilometre of our bushwack route.
