 | Comments: |
Snowshoes all the way. Firm and stable surface. Loose snow on the steep sections. 2 bare booters flashed the trail early with many thigh deep postholes on the Loop Trail. The lower sections of the Loop Trail had been smoothed out by 12 hikers I passed on my way out. The section between the peaks is in excellent shape. |
