 | Comments: |
With the warm temps, it was a great day to be out, but the conditions are a little rough right now. We barebooted most of the way up, then switched to snowshoes for deeper snow/trail breaking, but lots of uncovered rocks made it tricky going with lots of ankle twisting. Wore snowshoes most of the way down but snow was melting and trail was quite slippery/slushy with mud here and there. Still, a good day to burn off some Thanksgiving calories! |
