 | Comments: |
First mile was snow-less with a mix of dry and damp spots. After the first mile I put on my Micro-Spikes as trail had a snow/ice mix. Kept them on all the way and on the return until I reached dry ground.
One part of the trail has a 100 foot section of blue ice to cross. It's on a pretty flat section, so it's no problem with some traction.
Stable monorail from Starr King to Waumbek, no problem, just narrow in sections. |
