 | Comments: |
Generally an inch or so of dense snow/sleet accumulation on the trail that isn't melting nearly as quickly as a normal inch of snow. Some slush and a little mud, but not too bad (chose this trail since it drains well and is more resilient in bad weather; other trails in the region are probably very fragile right now, many of which are closed for mud season). Barebooted roundtrip without issue, but some may prefer light traction. |
