 | Comments: |
A few inches of snow at the parking lot. Not quite enough for snowshoes. As the trail climbs snow depth picked up.
Near the Garfield Ridge Trail, and above, there is a depression on the trail which partially filled with snow. Depth was up to about a foot at places. All light and fluffy. Trail tracked now. |
