Well, the guides don't lie when they describe this hike as strenuous. I'm a whipped pup tonight. Snowshoed whole way...you will definitely need them for this hike. Fair amount of drifting especially on Rollins trail. Got up and over ledges grabbing on to trees, etc. Didn't need crampons, good snow on them. Snow and flurries all day so unfortunately views were pretty much absent. |
