 | Comments: |
A nice day to be out hiking. Temps from -8 to 20 with a high overcast and no wind. There was about 12 inches of snow on the ground with about 3 to 6 inches of powder on top. I wore snowshoes on the trails, up and back. Saw 4 hikers in microspikes going up when I was going down. Saw lots of snowshoe hare tracks. The views were good just above the cabin. |
