 | Comments: |
Jewell Trail was packed down well...above tree line the visibility diminished to 1/2 mi. max but the cairns were still visible... the Gulfside Trail was much the same with hard, packed snow over a thaw/freeze layer...again, the cairns were visible....the Jefferson Loop to the summit was the same...top to bottom in spikes/crampons if you stay on the packed trail...Had a great day out with Rhonda and Eric! |
