 | Comments: |
Crawford Connector and Crawford Path to Webster Cliff Trail and then over to the Eisenhower Loop are well-packed snow highways. Webster Cliff Trail to Pierce summit is covered in ice of varying amounts -- some of it quite thick -- and some packed snow. Eisenhower Loop is the same, with some snow drifts. Edmands Path has just been broken out and is unconsolidated snow all the way, about a foot down low to two feet up top on a two-foot deep hard-packed base. The last half-mile or so up top is side-sloped. Mt. Clinton Road between the Edmands Path trailhead and the Crawford Connector is packed down nicely from snowmobile traffic. |
