 | Comments: |
Beautiful day with temps ranging fron 25 to 35 with sunny sky and high clouds. A light breeze at times on the summits otherwise calm. No snow on first mile of Valley Way and last mile of Airline. Snow up to 3 inches on other trails with bare rocks poking through. Some ice at places below treeline. Brought light traction but did not need to use it. Poles helpful. Saw boot prints in the snow but did not see any hikers on this loop hike today. Great day above treeline. |
