 | Comments: |
A very cold start. A couple of inches of new snow, but over all the trail was in great shape, except for the numerous potholes. I stepped in two unaware that were covered with snow and did face plants.
Lots of drifting of snow alone the open areas especially along the route to Mt Willey, and trail finding a little difficult, but with all the traffic yesterday- a great “path” to all peaks. |
