 | Comments: |
Snow appeared at about 4000' on Jewell and increased with elevation thereafter. Jewell above timberline had its usual tediousness, with neither bare boots nor spikes being optimal. We put on spikes at around 4800' and wore them to the summit and back finding perfect conditions for spikes on Gulfside and above.
Wonderful, scenic hike with Chris. |
