Jewal to gulfside to castle trail to Jefferson back to gulfside to cog intersection up the cog to washington down crawford to hut down ammo to lot well packed, some drifting, icy up high.
Great day to up on the range. super clear and the sun hitting black clothing dried things out and the warmth offset the cold winds.
only had to don face mask...other wise same clothing and layers whole hike. dry when finished hike.
Only set out for Jefferson wanting to save finish of winter 48 on Washington....too nice a day not to go over Washington.....my packed summited I stayed 10 feet from sign.
Took awhile for winds to die down but they eventually did on way to lake tear and hut.
Fanny slide down ammo helping to flatten non snowshoe's hikers destruction.
Hit lot with sun setting over mountain range. |
