 | Comments: |
Used spikes on the ice/hard packed snow on the road walk on the ascent and kept them on until about a half mile or so up the Signal Ridge Trail when we changed to snowshoes which we chose to keep on until back to the parking lot. The snow bridges are melting quickly in the unseasonably warm temps. Snowshoes worked great on the ascent but even with them on we post holed a bit on the way down. Great company, great day!! |
