 | Comments: |
Broke trail along with another hiker to the hut and up Galehead and South Twin. Snow had a layer of crust that is now well packed out now with traffic from the day. Trail to Galehead (Frost trail) was easy to follow.. Crusty snow made glissading a little tougher, and but still made good time on the way down.
Only one set of tracks have come up the North twin trail. New trail route on gale river was nice and easy to follow. |
