 | Comments: |
No views all day but the heavy snow on the trees mixed with low cloud ceiling made for an interesting hike since it was nothing but gray and white. Not a difficult hike and it's a well broken trail but snowshoes were helpful. Met a lot of people on the trail I think because the higher summits didn't look favorable today. |
