 | Comments: |
Crawford Path to WCT/Pierce was a flawless White Mountain sidewalk, perfect for spikes, as was the short segment up Pierce. From Pierce to the Eisenhower Loop, trail had short sections of significant drifting of loose snow that we chose to punch through in spikes. Mt. Eisenhower Loop was well packed and relatively ice-free. We encountered five others in spikes and one with snowshoes.
Cold hike in stunning conditions with Chris. |
