 | Comments: |
Trails were in great shape. We were able to start with microspikes and put on snowshoes as we got higher (and into a little fresh snow and a few bigger drifts) going up N. Twin Trail. It was not difficult to follow the established trail between North and South Twin. Lots of people on the mountain today. Special thanks to Jadwiga and Jeff for helping me finish my winter 4's on Galehead. I will post photos of this hike on 4/8 at: http://www.pbase.com/suerose. (Go to the bottom of the hiking photos to find this set.) Work calls tomorrow... |
