| Comments: |
Still winter trail condition. With the exception of the rocks on Pitcher and the road walk before Oak Hill the trail is still completely snow covered. We wore our spikes the whole hike (with the exception of the road walk). The snow was firm when we started and was getting very soft be late afternoon. The snow was deepest descending Oak Hill. |
