 | Comments: |
Trails are well packed. Snowshoes, barebooting or light traction (microspikes) are all options for the entire route.
Most people will probably prefer some traction on the steep sections of the Hancock Loop Tr. Snowshoes was our preferred choice at higher altitudes - microspikes at the lower section. |
