 | Comments: |
Edmands Path has dusting of snow with ice here and there starting about a half mile in. Snow becomes a couple of inches once past stone gateway. Eisenhower Loop, Crawford Path, Webster Cliff Trail is a mix between bare rock, ice on rocks, couple inches of snow, some minor drifting of a half foot. The cairns are not in the best of shape on the eisenhower loop and crawford path between eisenhower and Pierce. Use caution on the ledges below Mount Jackson on the WebsterCliff and Webster-Jackson trail as they are getting slippery. Snow line on Webster Jackson Trail is just above the Webster-Jackson fork junction. Wore microspikes just past stone gateway on Edmands Path and kept them on until descending Webster-Jackson Trail. |
