 | Comments: |
By Sunday afternoon the Liberty Springs trail was well packed out for boots and spikes. A few soft spots below the campsite could have gone with snow shoes, but none that caused post holes on the trail, immediately off trail there are a few deep post holes both 1/2 mile below and above the campsite. The ridge was hard packed, very little wind drift left. Lots of folks going up and down Liberty Springs on a gorgeous day |
