 | Comments: |
There is still a significant amount of ice on the stone stairs next to the falls. Today there was just enough space at the edge of the stairs to ascend extremely carefully. There is a large slab at the top of the stairs that is still ice-covered, but it can be bypassed in the woods.
I did notice that both my GPS and my InReach reported "no satellites in view" in the section. Not a good place to fall. |
