 | Comments: |
Opted to the out and back from the ski area due to expected ice and a few being uncomfortable with the slide area..There were some long stretches of packed snow/ice/slushy trail and a few sections of solid blue ice..Microspikes were perfect for this hike.. a few degrees warmer than anticipated which made this a truly fall hike as opposed to some of the winter like conditions recently..Great views today |
