This was the first winter 4K for our family. We did well, with a 7.5hr round trip. We did have some dog issues with a cold dog, but we wrapped him up & he recovered to finish the trip on his own.
The trail was firm, we used spikes round trip. There was no need for snowshoes. All bushwacks were very clear. Although the views were limited, we had bursts of sunshine on the climb out of the lot making a frozen granular trail for the descent into the parking lot. |
