 | Comments: |
Great day to be out. Cool and breezy with dramatic snow showers racing across the landscape. They pelleted us with grauple (what my Mom has dubbed "Snow Pebbles", which I think is excellent), but they didn't really accumulate. Trail was more than half dry, but there are damp sections as well. There are a few large snow drifts left up high on Speckled Mt, and a bit of ice on the steep section. All easy enough to navigate, just take you time. |
