| Comments: |
Overall, trail was well broken out and solid all the way to the Rim Trail. There were several short sections on the Kinsman Ridge Trail that were icy and offered some difficulty to those without good traction. Our group used snowshoes, microspikes and crampons. We didn't have much trouble at all.
Happy Birthday to DaveBear and congratulations on completion of his 2nd round! We're glad we could celebrate with you! |
