 | Comments: |
Beautiful snow covered tree hike, with some big flakes falling as we hiked. We carried snowshoes and didn't ever feel like we needed them, a couple of inches of snow over very hard ice, so we wore traction. Microspikes did the best, but up in the last 1/4 mi before the summit trail crampons would be useful, some ledges sections were slick under the snow with very hard ice.
Nice gradual grades, beautiful woods, and lots of critter tracks, a bobcat was meandering back and forth across much of the trail. Perfect snowy morning hike |
