Hit the first snow patches around 2200' and Gray Knob trail was pretty slippery despite being mostly flat. I never put on my gaiters but once or twice I fell in deep enough where they would have helped out. Overall a very nice day for a hike. I had my spikes but never really needed them. There was a steep snow field going up Jefferson where they would have given me more confidence and coming down valley way was pretty steep and slippery up top. Snow cleared up around the Valley way campsite and it was mostly fine after that. Watch out for loose rocks though as the snow-melt has left some rocks unstable. |
