| Comments: |
Barebooted on solid trailbed to shortly after the Mizpah junction, then it seemed to soften as the woods opened up and some drifting was evident. Snowshoes were useful to Eisenhower esp. in the low spots. Quite bony & bare on the Eisenhower summit so then it was light traction back to the car.
A few other folks were out on the trail today. |
