 | Comments: |
A nice day for a hike with temps from 10 to 25 and windy until about 11AM. I summited Jackson at 10AM with a strong NW wind with clouds and fog. Stayed on the summit for about 2 minutes and I saw nothing but clouds. The Crawford Path was in good shape with packed snow and a lot of exposed ice. Mizpah Cut Off and Webster Cliff Trails were unpacked powder and some snow drifts and lots of ice from treeline to the summit. There was only one set of bootprints on these 2 trails which looked like they were made yesterday. I used Microspikes start to finish. Saw only 3 hikers on the trails today. |
