Comments
Comments: Nice packed out trail the whole way. Our intent was to go all the way to Sandwich summit but we made it to Jennings and decided it was too late in the day and too cold to keep going.

Snowshoes could easily be used the whole trip but we opted to change to microspikes for the descent due to the expected steepness and a little bit of ice underneath. A wonderful day out in the snow!!
