Trail is about as ideal as it gets right now. Packed powder the whole way. I got a late start today. The trail was very packed out so I started in microspikes which worked perfect all the way to the height of the land. The Engine Hill Bushwhack was packed out well but not quite as solid so I had to switch to snowshoes. I caught up to Rocket 21, Jeb, Karen, and Barbara and joined them to the summit. Great day in the mountains. |
