 | Comments: |
I hiked to Liberty using just micro-spikes, I started post holing heading to Flume so I put the snowshoes on till i got almost to the summit. On the return trip I did not use snowshoes and had no problems as long as I stayed on the packed trail.
There were no issues to report. Great day great hike. |
