Bluebird, like summer day above treeline--crystal clear day! Valley way had some significant ice after the junction of Upper watson path--Used Hillsounds, on the decent the ice was soft and not a problem. Great day out with my #1 daughter and my soon to be son, and Guapo the dog.The water running under the ice and snow on the ascent to Adams on Airline trail was amazing, both the sound and what it looked like. |
