 | Comments: |
Well packed trails to the loop junction, good for spikes or SShoes- soft and loose on both ascents to the ridge, very deep snow on the ridge with tight spots and drifts-snowshoes recommended as hikers on trail postholed or fell from unstable snow, constant duck downs...you are likely to butt slide or fall on the descent, whichever way you go... |
