 | Lost and Found: |
Found one light blue Tubbs snowshoe very close to the parking lot on the teeny tiny little spur path that diverges to the right just before you get back to the parking lot when coming down. We propped it up against a tree at the entrance to the spur from the parking area. |

 | Comments: |
First 1.5 miles are pretty icy from melting that has re-frozen although the grade isn't steep so spikes are sufficient. The rest of the trail was pretty hard packed snow given the temps today.
Easy to posthole on the ridge though so as it warms snowshoes will be helpful up there. Some folks were braving it without any traction but it was very slow going for them. |
