 | Comments: |
Nice lady at the end of the road said that they had 7 inches over night. I could still see snowshoe tracks from the day before but they were mostly blown in. Stay left when trail diverges just after Mt Starr King. Big glade in the col was completely blown in. My track stayed higher on the ridge but I would occasionally see blazes. Went past summit to "view" point. The snow was great for hiking and wasn't sticky at all until very close to the parking lot. |
