| Comments: |
White out conditions on the treeless part of the trail-at the Pierce junction. I was unable to safely follow the trail and turned back just before the trail-cairn.
FYI, many hikers think the cairn is the summit marker. It is a trail marker leading you to the actual summit. The summit is approximately 2/10 ths of a mile past the cairn. |
