 | Comments: |
Nice day, if a little warm. I packed microspikes but hate sticky snow, so wore snowshoes the whole way. Cloudy and breezy at the top, but decent views. Didn't see a soul (Isolation, indeed) until 2 guys on the way down. Also some bareboot tracks later -- only an occasional posthole but I would think that'll get worse with the softening snow. Trails had been obscured and/or drifted a little from light snow overnight but were easy to follow and hard packed underneath. |
