Dusting of snow down low. About 1" of coverage across the ridge. I wore my Hillsounds, some icy rocks in places. Trail was really muddy with lots of standing water in the flats. The blowdowns were easy to navigate around or under. It spit snowflakes most of the day. The sun never made it out during the hike. I went clockwise around the loop. On my return, I noticed one other set of footprints taking the same route. I never met up with them.
Just as a side note: Construction at the Sabbaday Falls parking area on the Kanc. Entrances are blocked off. |
