 | Comments: |
Perfect day for a hike at high elevation, looked like the dead of winter but was warm. The trails were hard packed, frozen in the morning but softening in the afternoon. I used microspikes all day, but as it gets warmer snowshoes might be a better idea. Do'nt forget the sunscreen, I got a sunburn. |
