| Comments: |
Pretty much used microspikes for entire trip. There were a few spots where snowshoes might have been a better option, but snow depths aren't really that deep. The first mile or so of the trail is now a pretty messy mix of mud and churned-up snow. Should be interesting after the anticipated freeze. |
