Cold with some snow showers at trailhead. It was cold on the hike up. Couple of inches to the first switchback and then got deeper. The Stairs were treacherous on the way up and more treacherous on the way down. The snow got deeper from the Downlook and on. Not deep enough for snow shoes. Met only one person on the trail that worked at Loon Mountain and was heading over to Garfield to stay over night. He was cranking. I could not stay with him. Socked in above tree line with views once a while. Great time!!!!! |
