 | Comments: |
I was worried about the Little River Crossing but as noted its fine. Otherwise trails in good shape. We used spikes until after the Little River Crossing. We switched to snowshoes over North and South Twin. At the hut we switched back to spikes. There were some postholes in places but the snow is very hard and they could be avoided. No views today but a great day out. |
