 | Comments: |
A very nice day with blue sky and temps. from 20 to 45 and a light wind at the summit. Wore stabilicers from car to car. Roadwalk and trails were frozen early in the morning then began to soften up by 10AM. Saw 7 hikers on the trails and 2 skiers on the road. Saw Canada Geese flying northwest. A great day to be in the mountains. |
