Comments
Comments: Did this one with Monica and some random friends. Started in snowshoes but the trails were solid. Got about a half mile past the turnoff for the cog railway and switched to spikes. Kept the spikes on until the Jewell Trail/Gulfside Trail junction and then barebooted the rest of the way. There was some ice but easy to avoid it.
