| Comments: |
Access road quick mile to upper parking lot and trails. Bottom of trail through the woods was xcountry skis from day before. Very loose snow and skis had scraped it to ice in many areas. Difficult to get footing on the ascent, but much improved coming down as I had used snowshoes. Very windy and cold at summit. Snowshoes car to car. Great views today. |
