 | Comments: |
Half in snowshoes, half in spike/bare-booting. Enough in snowshoes to keep the unsteady monorail pretty solid. The ascent to south looked like a butt-sledding luge, but still easy to climb with snowshoe televators. Plenty of small post-holes at the sides of trails, but nothing too crazy. Very spring like today.
Had fun feeding the Gray Jays on top of South Hancock
ps. don't feed wild animals |
