 | Comments: |
Quick out and back West Ridge Trail to tackle Cardigan. Temperatures were at or just above freezing and winds minimal; even at the bare summit. Snow was packed down nicely and, even though I had my shoes on my pack, micro-spikes were all that were needed up and back. A few people here and there along the way to say hello to but mostly had the place to ourselves. |
