 | Comments: |
I wore snowshoes round trip, however they weren't necessary. Microspikes would have sufficed. Mostly frozen granular on the lower portion of the trail, while the upper portion of the trail has some significant and extended ice bulges. Probably best to just walk around them. Not too much snow - depths in woods probably 3-12" |
