 | Comments: |
Trail was somewhat packed, but my group wore snowshoes the whole way. As a previous reviewer said, the track is laid but the snow is not consolidated. There were a few sections of thick ice we were able to get up/around with some maneuvering. Crampons weren't needed on this particular day. Would recommend snowshoes only, as a few others we saw wearing microspikes caused many, annoying postholes. |
