| Comments: |
Only saw one other hiker out today, and we broke out the whole loop between the two of us. Probably 6" of new snow, with much larger drifts up high. A-Z and Avalon are easily followed, as is the trail up to Tom. Willey Range between Field and Willey had some huge drifting, often knee-deep. Wandered off-trail a few times, as all tracks were blown over and blazes were knee-high or snow-blasted. Wind blew over our fresh tracks by the time we came back from Willey summit. Snowshoes are definitely a must! |
