| Comments: |
Late start at 10:30 AM meant we weren't the first to break and pack down the trail thru the 5-6+ inches of new snow with our snowshoes.
A couple of hikers bare booted the majority of the hike which made it more difficult for us, however we did the best we could to smooth out their tracks (especially important given the rain and warm weather on its way).
Our two sets of snowshoes set it straight and it should set up nicely for the upcoming week sans the few very steep spots we were forced to butt slide down!
