 | Comments: |
This afternoon/evening, this entire hike was barebootable. Snowshoes and crampons never left backpack.
Jewell Trail had patchy monorail (mostly bare ground, some mud) until perhaps about a mile before treeline, when it became consistent. Above treeline, mostly bare ground, with some snow and ice in the shadows.
Gulfside Trail to Jefferson Loop - mostly bare ground, with a few small sections of snow, and tiny patches of ice.
Jefferson Loop from Gulfside to summit - mostly bare ground. |
