 | Comments: |
Theree's still a bit of stable monorail on FWT just below and above shining rock. It was solid and covered in dirt which afforded good traction. No other snow or ice along the entire loop. This was a fantastic day for this hike. I have never started this loop so late but there weren't too many to be enjoyable. |
