Comments
Comments: Very good day to get these peaks: great views in all directions under threatening skies. This was an AMC hike we lead (thanks to Ed & the rest of the group!!!). Cold morning temps made a great solid monorail above around 3000' for good snowshoeing. Even a dusting of new snow!!! I wouldn't want to try without snowshoes!!!

Nice temps and light breezes - good day for resting in the sun, especially on Jackson!!!! Almost NOONE out today on these trails....
