This was a father-and-son, 8h, 10-mile, ~3K elev. gain S to N traverse, with car spot N. Wore snowshoes entire trip. You can get away with barefoot/spikes up to S Moat; everywhere else snowshoes please, as trail consolidation needs more work. Depending on snowfall from today's storm, trails will need more work, but benefit from a decent base already. |
