 | Comments: |
I started at about 8:30am and my Hillsound's were good until about halfway up. That's when I wished I had my snowshoes. Although the trail had been packed out the day before, it could have used more showshoe traffic packing it down before spikes hit it. The unseasonably warm temps made it a mess throughout the day. This hike can be done in spikes-but would be more enjoyable in snbowshoes. |
