 | Comments: |
In the trees, trails had running water in places, as well as some mud. Above treeline, there was rime ice on the sides of the rocks, but not enough to take out my Microspikes. About a 20 foot section of blue ice near the top of Valley Way. Madison Hut closed and currently undergoing roofing. Kelton Trail to Inlook Trail had nice footing. Inlook Trail quite scenic. First mile or so of trail from Appalachia had some foliage, but above there the leaves were gone. |
