| Comments: |
We talked to someone in the parking lot who said we wouldn’t need the snowshoes; we left them. He was right. The trail was packed. Going off the trail would have necessitated snowshoes. Snowshoes would have worked on the ridge, but weren’t necessary. (There were holes to avoid just off trail.) We saw two people hiking in snowshoes. The other dozen or more people didn’t use them and most didn’t have them.
Gas station people were very friendly and let us have the key to their (clean) bathroom/lavatory. |
