 | Comments: |
Microspikes the whole way! Only a handful of steps landed on bare ground. Snowshoes went for a ride on the pack today.
Mt. Rowe Trail is pretty smooth. We took Yellow Trail up, which is a bit more uneven/chunky/postholed--after the next good snowfall, snowshoes would fix this right up. |
