Hiked Hale with my Dad today- it was #17 on the 48 for him. The whole trail is very wet, with some snow and ice patches above 3,000' or so; light traction is the way to go, especially after a re-freeze. A few groups enjoying the day, including one person who hiked Hale for her first 4K! Props to her! |
