 | Comments: |
Lower portion of the hike was well packed out by previous snowshoers, but the traverse from North to South Hancock had plenty of drifts and required looking carefully for the trail route in some sections. Snowshoes definitely needed! Televators for the climb up N Hancock made the climb easier. Looks like most people butt slide down from S. Hancock (including the guy behind us). Thanks MMK for your 2/23 report! |
