 | Comments: |
My feet were quite happy to encounter a solid track from the roadside parking to the summit! Used our spikes for our sunrise hike, which did *not* yield a sunrise, but the light snow showers created a cool effect over the notch. Trail to the Centennial Falls overlook broken out, and about 100 feet further along there’s the remains of a track a wayward sledder took off the trail and straight down to the river—-didn't look like much fun. Trail has multiple postholes along the sides, but nothing you can’t avoid. |
