Ammo Trail was packed thanks to yesterday's hikers, No wind all the way up to Monroe. Trail to Ike was a mixture of bee-lining and following the cairns on the Crawford Path. Some drifts had to be broken through but the snow was stable. A wonderful half-day above treeline - in the afternnoon the predicted front did come in and winds picked up but were at my back on the return from Ike. |
