 | Comments: |
Trail had a good monorail with loose powdery snow - easy to walk on. Used microspikes and had no problem, though snowshoes could also have been used. The trail from A-Z has a steep decline and incline at its very beginning which was hard to walk down on feet. I ended up on my butt on the way down both times. The ascent was a bit more technical, but not impossible. |
