Comments
Comments: Up to Lonesome Lake was the typical winter highway. Less traffic past there but the trail was still mostly well packed when I got there, just a touch soft. Between the peaks was about the same, mostly well packed, a few stray postholes. I started late (10:30 am) and wore spikes the whole time. Lots of people out on the trail today, most had snowshoes. Trail should be in grreat shape until we get more snow.
