Comments
Comments: On the start of this trail there were 4-5 inches of snow. It got deeper
before the Caps.


Above tree-line there was knee deep to thigh deep snow. Slow going today.


Traction wouldn't have helped with all the exposed rocks. It would have been more of a nuisance putting snowshoes off and on all day.
We could see where the snow was melting in the sun on our return.
