 | Comments: |
The trail was sidewalk condition. Micro spikes went on out of the car and stayed on till about 1 mile from the summit. It would be possible to do this section with only micros but snowshoes made it easier for the section past the junction. Ran into about six other groups today all in snowshoes, or carrying them. We checked out Garfield Ridge over to Gailhead and it looked like It had seen some traffic in the past week but certainly not in the past few days. Happy to have gridded out this peak today but I’ll definitely be back. |
