 | Comments: |
An almost bare trail to start but we wore microspikes start to finish. Lots of running water on North Twin trail but most of it can be avoided. Some of it is covered by a thin coat of ice that is not to be trusted. Trails are a little bumpy down low but improved conditions the higher you go. Up high the trail is firm and in great condition, very fast. |
