 | Comments: |
First mile was nice with a few snow patches. Lots of melting snow, mud and some ice in the second mile. Put spikes on at ~ 2 miles. You could use snowshoes. It was softening up in the afternoon. With the upcoming warmer temperatures, snowshoes will be needed. There is still a good snowpack up on the ridge. |
