 | Comments: |
Mostly dry trail down low with increasing monorail starting shortly before tent site. Deepest snow was on north side of Flume where one might encounter some nasty conditions if sunny, hot day. Light traction and poles very helpful for balance on the narrow monorail. Carried snowshoes but not needed. This route doesn't have much of the "mud season damage the trail" currently being discussed on internet. |
