From Pierce to Jackson, you had to wear snowshoes ans to be in good physical shape.. The trail is full of snow like anybody went there since a while (sometimes thigh Deep) I lost the trail 4 or 5 times but found iT background.The freezing rain in the past days created lots of frozen bending trees on the trail.
Perfect day in the Whites, blue sky with 360 views. I started with microspikes on Cramford Path but I Switched to MSR snowshoes for the traction and elevators. You could have kept microspikes all the way Up to Pierce with no problem. Between Pierce and Eisenhower, it Was really better with snowshoes. |
