Good day on the trail. Made good time. 5.25 hours moving time. Didn't linger, could see storm approaching and it was snowing lightly on the summit. Excellent views from CD summit, as well as the approach. Microspikes car to car. Snowshoes would have been dangerous with the current conditions. Of course today's rain/snow will most likely change everything.
Great day out. Saw the hut-master and another guy in my 1st 5 mins on trail then didn't see another soul til back at the jct w/19MBT. |
