 | Comments: |
Wet sticky snow greeted us for the day and balled up well under my snowshoes. I kept knocking it off throughout the trip. We did not take any of the whacks as I was solo and not confident in my whacking skills with covered trails. The long way was decent. a group in front of us turned back so, Isis and I broke up the rest of Rocky Branch, Mt. Isolation trail, Davis Path, and the spur. Spur was tough and no views today. Trails in decent shape. |
