| Comments: |
All trails were well packed but were a little soft and sticky with the warmer temps today. I was able to bareboot most of the day and never postholed, spikes would ball up quickly. Snowshoes are a good idea for GRT and Twinway. GRT had tracks heading to Garfield.
Suprising quiet day, only crossed paths with a pair of other hikers. |
