 | Comments: |
Trail had generally top to bottom coverage with frozen granular. Some bare spots appearing in the lower elevations. Snowpack up top of almost a foot. Some patchy ice mixed in with the frozen granular, but I was able to bareboot without issue.
The tower stairs, on the other hand, were rather icy, though I was able to stomp off a lot of the ice. The wire mesh on the top landing has bent over due to the ice and thus could be a tripping hazard if not careful. For those not interested in venturing up the tower, there is a good directional view from the ground that was cut a year or so ago. |
