This is a great half day trip. We passed a few people on our way up, and saw several more on their way up on our descent. About half didn’t look prepared for the winter like conditions. Spikes really helped as did wearing hiking boots. The narrow monorail and very deep snow off it as we got higher up was not very good for those in sneakers. I’m hoping my friends who volunteer for SAR aren’t being called out for broken ankle carryouts tonight . |
