 | Comments: |
Trail was firm monorail, with signs of the warm weather last week. Some sizeable snowshoe post holes near the summit. We used spikes the whole way, carrying our snowshoes, and experienced a couple minor post holes if we stepped too far off the monorail [which leaves the trail in worse condition for future hikers]. |
