 | Comments: |
It was a beautiful day with temps in the 40's, partly cloudy, light winds and views from Washington to Lafayette. We used light traction to North Twin and snowshoes to and from South Twin. There are multiple trails wandering through the spruces near the summit of North Twin. Beware of spruce traps. It was wet from snow melting off the trees and tiresome pushing through the spruce branches. A long but rewarding hike. |
