 | Comments: |
Great day, blue sky and no wind with temps in 20's. Trail was packed powder on ice and barebooted till Hancock loop then switched to flex alp snowshoes for ascent of north peak. Great views at overlook and clear skies. Most people we met there headed to South Peak but we switched to micros spikes and did a lot of butt sliding down to loop junction. Saw several folks setting up camp at Cedar Brook trail junction. |
