 | Comments: |
1" to 2" of new snow with some minor drifting between the summits. Snowshoes for the entire hike. Trails are in decent shape. Traverse between the summits is easy to follow.
I would say light traction is insufficient for the ascent/descent portions of the Hancock Loop Trail at present. Snowshoes are ideal, but I don't think a crampon would be overkill on the step sections.
