 | Comments: |
The trails were snow-free until we hit spotty snowfields off Jefferson, then later on Crawford. The worst conditons were on Ammo from below the Lakes of the Clouds Hut. Rotting snow with significant water running underneath. Slow going, water crossings were still manageable even with the extreme amount of running water from above. Bare trail in many spots heading down the steepest sections, but snow continued to rear it's ugly head almost back to Marshfield. |
