 | Comments: |
Tough hike. I was the only person on the trail. Only micro spikes were needed till about 4000 feet as there's minimal snow. Higher than that, snoeshoes are best as the drifts come and go. Most of that higher terrain does have a crust below the recent powder but it doesn't always hold weight. There's periodic ice but it's avoidable. |
