| Comments: |
Crawford Path is well packed and in great shape up to its junction with the Webster Cliff Tr. We continued along Crawford towards Mt Eisenhower first. This is where we began to encounter deep snow drifts of up to 3-4 feet deep. Some folks were wearing snowshoes while others opted for just spikes. Overall, the drifts were manageable and saw a lot of traffic today so hopefully its in better shape by days end. Virtually no wind on Eisenhower today with bright skies. Quick trip up Pierce followed by a very fast track back to the car... |
