One decent sized blowdown on Randolph Path, a half mile north of the Junction of Lowe's Path. Easy enough to walk around |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
North Presi's have unforgiving terrain for pups and their pads. If your doggo is not an experienced alpine rock-hopping pooch, ease them into it. With that said, Sarge had a blast, and rolled around in any patches of snow he could sniff out above treeline. |

 | Comments: |
The last half mile below Madison Spring Hut had an elevated and slippery monorail. We all barebooted up with no issues. If I descended this way, I'd probably put on rock spikes.
Above treeline is almost all snow free, outside of a few patches in the scrub.
Lowe's Path and Randolph Path are snow free and in great shape! |
