 | Comments: |
After the icy conditions on Tom/Field/Willey yesterday, we were very pleased to find far less ice today. Just a few spots here and there. The top two tenths of the trail is mostly filled in. The trail was really in very nice shape. Snowshoes would have been useful on the top 1.5 miles but were not necessary. Thanks again to Larisa and Toby for being such good company. |
