 | Comments: |
The trail was in decent shape. I barebooted to the Hancock Loop Junction. At the junction I put my shoes on. The televators are always great on the ascent.The section in between the peaks needed some work as many barebooters out there did some post holing and made the trail choppy. My group of three wore our shoes the rest of the hike to help with consolidating the trail. We came across 13 other hikers where only two were sporting shoes the rest were either barebooting or wearing micro spikes. |
