 | Comments: |
An incredible day - blue blue skies and virtually no wind; easy to hang out on top and bask in the sun and the view. Trail was in great shape but the dozen or so folks I saw were all using snowshoes which are still needed to preserve the trail. But it is very clear and well packed down. |
