| Comments: |
Beautiful day, sunny, windy and clear. Micro spikes to North Twin, snow shoes to South Twin and back. The sun exposed snow is soft and deep. A monorail is starting to form. The Little River crossing is not bridged and currently not difficult but that could change with the big melt coming. The Twinway from both Guyot and Galehead has seen traffic. I only saw one other party hiking the Twins from Haystack Road. |
