Comments
Comments: All the trails were in excellent shape. They were well broken out and consisted of a firm, fully consolidated snow pack. All water crossings were snow/ice bridged.



It should also be noted that as of the day of this hike, the Willey Range Trail had not been broken out from Mt. Field headed toward Mt. Willey.



Even though the snowpack was fully consolidated, snowshoes were worn for the entire trek to avoid punching through and ruining things for other hikers.
