 | Comments: |
A nice day with temps from 5 to 35 with sun and clouds and very windy at the summit. Saw 20 hikers, either wearing light traction or barebooting. The road and trail was hard packed early in the morning and softer by 11AM. There was a couple of inches of new snow the last mile of the trail near the summit. Snowshoes enjoyed the ride on my pack. |
