 | Comments: |
ice status: was able to complete the loop without using microspikes however there are two stretches of accumulating water ice on the Falling Waters trail between the Shining Rock side trail and treeline. I was barely able to get around these by carefully stepping on the extreme right side of the trail. Elsewhere ice was not too difficult to get around. |
