 | Comments: |
Our first hike of the year. Had a great time! Trail started out with minimal snow and lots of water in the mid-morning. By mid afternoon it had turned to lots of mud. Some hard-packed monorail and ice above 3000ft, all easily navigated without even light traction. View from the top was 80+ miles and beautiful. |
