Light snow showers throughout the hike and no more than approx 1/4 had accumulated by the time I returned to Zealand trail. There are are patchy spots of ice forming in a few spots at upper levels. I did use my "backup" micros starting at the small ladder not overly neccessary but felt more stable. It was nice chatting with the hiker working on a list today. In total I met 10 other hikers today enjoying this day |
