 | Comments: |
Firm trails all the way to the top with a fresh dusting of up to 2" on the upper third of the trail. Some sections are barebootable but with icy sections in-between we used spikes from car-to-car. Snowshoes stayed in the car and were not missed.
Great hiking with Bill C and Guy J today. Congrats to Bill on finishing the SSW48! |
