 | Comments: |
There was about an inch or two of snow at the beginning of the trail but once you get closer to Mt. Adam's tree line, the amount of snow increased to about 3-4 inches. The rocks in the alpine zone were slippery with ice and snow. On the descent towards the Madison Hut, there were about 4 inches of loose snow. People have packed down a path in the snow in most places. |
