Believe it or not, Sunshine and I used snowshoes the entire hike! Probably had about 3 inches or so of fresh, fluffy snow and snowshoes felt great. Could see ice in some spots underneath, but trail was soft and especially fun on the way down. A little sketchy with snowshoes toward top of Liberty, but completely doable. Overall, a great hike; saw quite a few others later in the morning and most were wearing snowshoes (thankfully!) |
