 | Comments: |
Perfect day, snow carpet the whole way. Micro spikes okay by the time we started at 11:15am, poles might have been nice for the steep section up (but we made it). Gorgeous views of the presi range at the top. Lots of people, great energy. 2 hours hiking time RT. Warm day so we hung at the top for 20 minutes, recommend if you’re looking for a good winter hike. |
