| Comments: |
Great to start off. Spikes on as soon as we got out of the car. Very minor post-holing on the the way up. After the water crossing, the trail was solid all the way up. There are a couple of real icy spots as you get close to the top. Warm temps made the trail a bit choppy on the way down. Snowshoes will probably be the way to go if the temps continue to hover around freezing. |
