Per and I had a great day bagging these two peaks. The weather was better than forecast, no snow and sun in the afternoon. We put on light traction where the Blueberry Ledge trails starts to steepen. The trails were well packed by snowshoers that allowed us to leave our snowshoes in the car. Only Rollins trail was a bit soft but we still did not sink in more than an inch or two. Now is the time to get these peaks with perfect trail conditions. Never saw another hike. |
