 | Comments: |
We got started just before 7am. The road walk is mostly ice. The start of the trail is bare. No snow. Then it changed to hard packed snow. No monorail. The temps stayed well below freezing. If it warms up it's gonna get postholey. If it's gonna be warm, I would bring snowshoes to save you from sinking up to your knees. |
