Gorgeous day to hike. Started off a little iffy with high winds and blowing snow, which quickly turned to blue skies and zero wind. Took a nap on the summit and got an epic sunburn. The trails are in great shape. Very straight forward. The Engine Hill whack is also in good shape, there are two versions of it, I took the one that rides the 3200 contour more or less, there is another a little lower. Used spikes to EHW, then had snowshoes to Isolation. Spikes from Isolation to EHW, snowshoes for the whack, then back to spikes.
Stolen day given the forecast this morning! |
