 | Comments: |
Spikes door to door on very well packed trails. The first mile is mostly hard ice with a layer of snow, but after that the trail is very well packed. Only saw one couple in snowshoes who did a great job packing whatever loose snow was left over. Grab your spikes and visit Moriah while it’s fast and fun. |
