 | Comments: |
Trails had frozen over overnight and were mostly covered by a dusting that made it difficult to spot some of the icy-section. After having misjudged a couple of areas early on I put the micros on and kept them on for the remainder of the hike until about 1/2 mile from the TH at Lincoln Gap. |
