 | Comments: |
Packed monorail throughout the majority of the trip. Evidence of postholing from previous days, but was not an issue today. Lots of sections with massive ice ledges on the Fishin' Jimmy Trail. These required micro spikes at a bare minimum. Overall, the trail was well packed and clear. No problem for a prepared winter hiker. Storm coming on New years eve that is supposed to drop a few inches of snow that may affect trail conditions. |
