Straight forward day with packed snow all day. Used snow shoes from trailhead until heading down Field. Used a set of hillsounds to navigate some of the steeper ice covered sections. Other two hikers I was with used snow shoes slightly longer but ultimately switched to spikes. Jays were out and about and there were a bunch of people out there as well.
