| Comments: |
Great day with snow showers off and on providing a gentle dusting to walk on. Spikes from the car to summit and snowshoes from the summit back to the car. Lower portion of Trail is chopped up leading to the first (really the second) Brook crossing and nice hard packed monorail all the way up. Slightly softer further up and we wore snowshoes for the descent for better traction and to keep from postholing with the added force of coming down. Took Sosman trail over to the viewpoints, lightly traveled and soft so snowshoes are required. |
