 | Comments: |
Trail is in great shape. Mostly dry. There is more water in the multiple crossings than usual but all are easy to cross. There is a little snow climbing up to South Hancock -- all soft. The monorail is mostly gone. The ridge is mostly dry except for a few wet sections and patches of snow. The monorail on the ridge is also mostly gone. Coming down from North Hancock the trail is dry. I carried micro-spikes but did not use them. On this trail time to put the winter foot gear away. |
