| Comments: |
The rain from Tues/Wed then subsequent refreeze made for perfect traveling conditions. Having broken out the Marston trail to the upper Coe jct two days previous, we used microspikes to there. From there to N Brother and Fort, we were on snowshoes. Had intermittent snow showers and views from just before N Brother for the rest of the day. The route to Fort was a breeze on the frozen snow. Light winds and reasonable temps made for a great day. |
