 | Comments: |
There was only 3–4 inches of new snow on the trial, and little more from drifts closer to the top. Strong snow base w/o ice on most of the trail. The trail gets rockier and more raged at higher elevations. With snow, it took longer to claim than expected. Micro-spikes help with sleeper rocks at the top and on the way down. Good mobile phone reception for all hike and trail is visible on Google Maps, with Trail Overlook point and Mont Israel peak for your orientation. |
