| Comments: |
Great night hike of these two peaks. There is a nice trac started up to Starr King still with loose powder. From Starr King to Mt Waumbek is now rough broke. Snow depths on this portion ranged from 10 inches to knee deep. Snowshoes were on for entire hike and highly recommend them if hiking these two in the next couple of days. |
