 | Comments: |
Decided to check out the trail conditions after the recent spring-like weather. Thin monorail for pretty much the entire route except on ledges, which are bare, as are a couple of melted out spots on Orange Trail. We were able to keep light traction on the entire way, but I suspect that this will change daily with the forecast warmer temperatures. |
