Comments
Comments: Wore snowshoes top to bottom for traction, but could have used Microspikes (perhaps walking around a few blue ice bulges). Trail is generally covered with either a few inches of frozen granular or blue ice. Some bare ledge up high. Snow depths of trail range from 2" to about 18" (on spots up high), but generally about 6". Snow off trail not firm enough to walk on top of.
