I started after 10 so expected there would be people ahead of me. When I went up the bushwack no new tracks in the powder but when I got to the trail I saw 2 guys just ahead of me. Huge packs for camping. Met more campers as I came down. The trail was well packed the lower part and of course the top both had some rocks surfacing. It was snowing and the notch was clouded in when I got there but soon lifted to blue skies then was clouded over again at the top. Windy and 12 degrees at the top. |
