 | Comments: |
We used snowshoes start to finish. Certainly could be done in spikes but snowshoes were better, especially between Liberty and Flume. We had a party of seven so the bushwhack to Liberty Springs trail is now in good shape. Also, the "Winter" route to Flume from Liberty, which avoids the initial steep ledges, is now broken out. Of course this is all subject to change as there is snow in the forecast. |
