 | Comments: |
The monorail was stable and thin for most of the way, nothing a micro spike cannot handle. Further up near the treeline, there was fresh snow. Coming down through the same trail was slippery with broken ridges and the rains didn't help it. It would help if you carry hiking poles, to reduce the impact to your knees, as the path was slippery for a good 2 miles. |
