 | Comments: |
It was a beautiful day on the Moats! It was windy on all three summits. We found a spot to sit out of the wind on each one, but I was almost blown over on Middle and South. Incredible views. The trail is a mix of dry trail, flowing water right down the middle of the trail, and ice/snow combo. We wore microspikes and were fine. The on again, off again spikes dance was alive and well on this traverse. It did slow us down, but we were in good spirits knowing it would be there. Spring hiking at its finest! |
