 | Comments: |
Trail was stable with a dusting of snow as I worked my way up. Right around 32 F the whole way. Postholes nearing the top from previous days hiking but all I needed and saw people wearing spikes. Everything was solid. Water was running through some of the trail but nothing that was deep. Light wind up top of both peaks with no view with the low clouds. Snow started to get sticky on the way down. Passed about 10 people and 4 dogs on the way down. The trail is a great winter trail! |
