 | Comments: |
Beautiful spring like day with minimal wind. Trail has differing degrees of drifting-most substantial are knee high and over between the Howks overlooks. Pine Link trail from Dolly Copp Road appeared to be broken, but both it and Howker Ridge are not consolidated. Used microspikes most of the day aside from breaking thru drifts with snowshoes. |
