Cold day but started out nice with no breeze. Crawford path is very well packed. I wore snowshoes but saw a hiker in microspikes and it didn't really affect the trail. Mizpah cut off was broken out but not well packed. Webster Cliff trail had been broken out before but there was so much drifting I basically had to break it out again. I intended to continue over to Eisenhower but winds picked up a bit when I got to the summit of Pierce. I got chilled as the air temp was only around 0 and decided to head back down instead. Also it looked like there was quite a bit of drifting between Pierce and Eisenhower. |
