 | Comments: |
First tracks today with an inch of new snow at the trailhead and about 5 inches on the loop and ridge trail and some drifting of snow. Temps from 25 to 35 and breezy on the peaks and the connecting ridge. There were no views as the sky was cloudy and there were some snow flurries. I saw 13 hikers and 1 dog. A nice winterlike day. |
