 | Comments: |
Original plan was to do the loop over Firescrew and Cardigan. Mountains got a dusting of ice/snow, but mostly everything was wet. Wet ledges, tons of mud/standing water on the trails.
No need for spikes, but if you’re heading up this week, make sure you have some waterproof shoes on your feet. |
