 | Comments: |
The trail is a mixed bag of bare ground, flowing water and packed snow and ice with a dusting on the last 2/10s. It is definitely too bony for snowshoes, which went for a ride. Light traction car to car. Had lunch at the top in the lee of the foundation enjoying the great views. We were a group of five ably lead by Ed. No others encountered. |
