Comments
Comments: The crossing of the bridges currently under construction presented no problems. The Trails are very solid. We used micro-spikes end to end. Never postholed once. Carried crampons just in case but currently not needed. Started under blue skies but by the time we crossed the last stream it was snowing. No views today. Did not see another hiker.
