| Comments: |
Not a lot of people out on these trails today, which was a surprise given the milder temps. Trails all packed out quite well except for Mt. Field summit which had a number of paths running every which way. Used microspikes from start to finish. All fine today with postholing only off the beaten track while yielding to ascending hikers. |
