 | Comments: |
The trail is broken out nicely (thank you!), but the snow is still loose. I suggest snowshoes. Almost everybody I saw was wearing snowshoes. There was a group of six in spikes on the way up, they switched to snowshoes for the hike down, so hopefully the trail is back to being great. Look out for any remaining postholes. |
