 | Comments: |
Trail is all broken out and hard packed when you first start out in the morning. The snow becomes soft as the day progresses.
With a dozen hikers in snowshoes (and only 1 barebooter!) the trail should be in excellent shape.
What a grand day with the blue skies and nice temps. Very little wind also. Lots of people out enjoying a bluebird sky day. |
