| Comments: |
It was wet and snowless on the connector from the parking lot to Crawford Path. The Crawford Path to Pierce is a well-packed down highway, with occasional sections of ice. The trail to Eisenhower has seen much less traffic but the trail was fairly easy to follow and also packed sufficiently to not need snowshoes. Beware deviating from the path as it's easy to posthole knee-deep. Snowshoes went along for the ride but we wore spikes all day. |
