 | Comments: |
Fire Warden's trail was very icy in spots. I hiked up without traction but used Stabilicers on the way down. I saw a couple with bare boots and they were going slow. Bald Peak Trail was clear and dry between Fire Warden's trail and North Ridge trail except for some snow on the slope near Fire Warden's trail. North Ridge trail had some snow on shaded slopes but was otherwise clear. |
