Gorgeous day on the trail - little wind, no clouds and deep blue sky!
No one had broken trail prior to our hike. Edmands Path was snow covered, about 8" unpacked powder at lower elevations, deeper at higher elevations on the mountain. On steeper terrain, difficult to get traction on loose snow, particularly in narrow trail sections with snow-laden overhanging trees and sloping drifts. We abandoned the hike before reaching the Crawford Path. |
