| Comments: |
Approached Liberty Spring Trail from Basin parking area and short bushwack on fairly established goat path to Liberty Spring Trail. Used microspikes up fairly solid trail to junction at ridge. From there to Liberty and Flume, snowshoes where recommended although many were bare booting. Trail was softening a bit on the descent later in the day as the temps warmed. |
