 | Comments: |
The trails were all very stable and well established with a dusting of snow on the bottom and several inches of new snow closer to the top. Started off in spikes but changed to snow shoes once we hit the Hancock Loop Trail. The televators were definitely appreciated on the steep climb up North and through the col to South Hancock where the trail is soft and wind blown. We were a party of six ladies and two gorgeous pups and only saw three or four other people on these trails today. This is such a great hike in the winter and now’s the time to get it done!! |
