There was a little bit of all conditions today. We started by 7 while it was still cold and the trail was well consolidated. Before the bushwhack, there's a wet section that had minimal snow and mud. Many minor bridged areas deteriorated today in the sun. We were able to use microspikes the entire way - however, if the warm weather continues, there are spots snowshoes would be helpful due to soft snow. We met up with several group during the hike, including Denise finishing her W48! Get this trail before the next storm moves in! |
