 | Comments: |
Well-established, supportive snowshoe track the whole way on mostly-packed powder. Almost no ice to speak of. Occasional postholes higher up- while microspikes would suffice at lower elevations, snowshoes were ideal. Wish the footing on the Garfield Ridge Trail were this even in the other 3 seasons. |
