| Comments: |
Nice temps from 5 to 20, overcast early and snow flurries on the way down, light breeze at times. Crawford Path well packed by snowshoers on Friday (many thanks). From Pierce to Eisenhower needed snowshoes to tackle drifts and thin snow layer over ice. Saw about 37 hikers and 1 dog today. Great winter hike. |
