Comments
Comments: Wore microspikes for the Loop section. Possibly 12" snow in spots along ridge. Ice mostly snow covered in the steeps. Lots of traffic today packing the trails nicely. Many nice folks met. Few brief views locally and of Arrow Slide. Perfect day for this hike. Need a few more cold days to solidly freeze the crossings.
