 | Comments: |
This makes for a long hike, roughly nineteen miles and for us about ten and one-half hours. Fortunately we were in microspikes with snowshoes along for the ride, and we had a near full moon to lead us back out to the highway. Zealand and Twinway are hard packed but noticeably choppy due to prior postholing. The Twinway looked broken and packed heading west toward Guyot. |
