| Comments: |
A couple of inches of new snow at the start of the trail well packed. On the ridge maybe 4 inches. A little mud at lower elevation. The steeps were fine with spikes which were also helpful crossing the open water. Nice day to be out. Ran into Sabrina. Congrats to Barbara R. on #32 and #33. |
