I used Hillsounds the whole day. I debated about bringing snow shoes and even started without them but changed my mind at the actual start of the trail and went back and got them.....I never needed them. The trail was well packed the whole way although Kate Sleeper a little less so but not enough to put on snow shoes. Temps were quite mild for mid-Ianuary and there was very little wind. I saw the only other hiker on the Rollins Trail. Thank you to Cheryl who picked us up about a mile into the road walk....a very welcome ride at the end of the day! A very good day to get these peaks. |
