 | Comments: |
It snowed and drifted overnight, and the first hikers today had to do some moderate trail breaking. We saw around a dozen other hikers on the Twins today, and, like us, most were without snowshoes. In fact, 'shoes would have been a good choice above the crossing, and with any more snow or wind they might become necessary outright. |
