2 cuties going up as I was coming down Jackson Webster! I got to stop and say hello. Such a sweet end to my hike! |

 | Comments: |
Snow started early on up Crawford. On and off snow, mud, and rocks once above treeline. Headed north to Eisenhower was slow going. Webster Cliff Trail between Pierce and Mizpah hut was also very slow going. Lots of slush, mud, postholing, and thin uneven monorail. Webster Jackson Trail was more of the same, on and off mud, rock, snow, and slush. If you’re headed out this way later this week get ready to get your feet wet! Keep in mind much slower hiking times. This normally would have been a 3.5/4 hour hike for me, ended up taking 5.5 hours. Still a beautiful day out there!!!
