 | Comments: |
It was a great hike with great friends. We were surprised to see how much snow and ice was on the trails. No one had spikes, so trekking poles were our friend. We made it through the day without incident. Again some of the water crossing were tricky. The caves are a great place to see. We can't believe it took us this long to get to see them. We did post a video of our hike for anyone curious about it or the conditions we encountered. Just click the link below. |
