 | Comments: |
Ground is almost bare (some ice) for first mile, then thin packed snowy trail to Bald Knob Spur. After Bald Knob, snow gets deeper but, as of today, is firm and packed. We used microspikes from car to summits, but snowshoes will soon be needed as warmer temperatures soften the snow. |
