Great conditions, beautiful day out! There is some wet trail at low elevations, but little standing water. Spikes went on around 3,000 feet and stayed on until we came back down to 3,000 ft. There is a mix of frozen dirt/ice/scant snow from about 3,000 feet and above. It made for a great surface and spikes were perfect. Trees on the ridge are spectacular—ice and snow covered. One of the most beautiful days I can remember in the Hancocks. Chilly and very windy with intermittent snow squalls today. Minimal snow accumulation. |
