 | Comments: |
Expected to see more snow down low but the trail was bare for the first two miles. Then ice to snow. Twinway is filling in with snow but somewhat unconsolidated. Great views, windy and really windy late in the day once below treeline. Nice to chat with Snowflea on South Twin, the only other hiker I saw all day. |
