 | Comments: |
This was a quick early afternoon hike on a wet day, w/rain shell worn the entire time. Snowfall was constant, w/3-4 inches accumulation on the trail and road. Blustery on the summit; we did not linger. Fresh snow obscured a few icy spots, but we opted to keep the Microspikes in the packs today. |
