| Comments: |
Snowshoeable the whole way, though there are many awkward open drainages etc. up to about 2100 feet (plus a few other wet crossings above). Trail may have been passable without snowshoes and with light traction. Old track is very firm; some ice in spots. Open rocks on Liberty summit. A little new snow fell during the PM. TY, HE. |
