My kids and I had an awesome day hiking Mount Shaw! The one thing I was nervous about was the water crossing noted in previous trail reports but it wasn’t an issue today (see above notes). Other than that I do recommend having a paper map and nav app to help with navigation as it can be a little tricky at times. Only saw theee very smal patches of leftover snow on the side of the trail on the ridge. Otherwise completely clear of snow and ice. |
