Excellent hike today- very nice to see highly angled section of trail is completely free of snow and ice. Very spotty monorail starts shortly after second water crossing. I was easily able to bareboot until 3500 feet then micros for only approximately 1/4 mile. Snowshoes stayed in the trunk for the first time since at least November. Hopefully off to the 🦉this week pending water levels to grid May out. |
