Trail bare and dry to about 2500 ft., where the remnants of the new snow started. The water crossings were low and easy. At about 3200 ft. the snow line started and the rail under the new snow, which was soft, was very solid underneath. The snow was pretty consistent to the summit, which was bare.
Bare booted up and wore spikes down. Snowshoes went along for the ride. We were out about noon and it was getting quite hot at the bottom.
Hiked with Bill and Glenn today. Nice talking with Kathy, Dina, and Kathy on the trail. |
