Beautiful day on the trails, mostly sunny and the predicted winds never showed up. Hiked in 1 layer much of the day. Some ice on the steeps coming up N. Twin and down to Zealand hut from Zeacliff as well as other random areas but microspikes handled everything well. We used them virtually all the way around the loop . 1 inch or less of snow covered most of the trails today.
Thanks Cory for a great day. Started running into many hikers from the Zealand hut after we departed Zealand. No one until then as we had the Twins and Guyot to ourselves. |
