 | Comments: |
I planned on a Pierce-Eisenhower hike, but the winds on Crawford Path north of Mt Pierce were brutal.
The Crawford Path and the Webster-Jackson Trail were packed out. Microspikes would have been OK but I wore snowshoes. The Webster Cliff Trail between Pierce and Jackson was not packed... snowshoes needed. I crossed the summit of Pierce twice, about 15 minutes apart, and the wind drifted the snow so that my tracks from the first trip were completely gone. |
