Great day for these peaks! Mud everywhere on the flats. Barebooted the flats and then I put on the snowshoes for the climb up to S. Peak. Then, we snowshoed the ridge - snow was nice and solid . Lots of groups out on these trails today, but nobody else on snowshoes, so they were postholing LOTS - still maybe 2-3' of snow in places along the ridge. No views from the outlooks, but, still nice!!! Rain held off until back at the trailhead. GREAT day to finish May! :) |
