The route to the loop has been well packed and is in typical winter highway shape. Good kick steps up North Hancock. Some drifting on the ridge, but the path remains distinct with blazes at about eye level. There's a nice glissade track off South Hancock so you might as well join the fun than try to stay on your feet. I carried snowshoes but light traction was all that was required. No postholing. |
