 | Comments: |
We and most others brought and were generally satisfied with microspikes since the surface (after many hikers’ compression) was Ice in lower sections and then packed snow with softening top layer . Upper exposed sections of trail were softening, though, over the day. We tried to descend via Carriage Road and both lost the trail and found ourselves in hip-deep snow, so snowshoes essential for that and other trails. Most people were descending on Gorge Brook |
