 | Comments: |
It was a great hike. Trail conditions had filled in a bit from the previous week. With colder temps on Sunday making the snow firmer it was easier to hike than the warmer conditons recently. Be ready for sloppy snow on the warmer days. Wore spikes for a short time before switching to shoes for the rest of the hike. |
