| Comments: |
A really great day, blue sky, temps from 30 to 60, views to the horizon. No snow at trailhead, then some ice and snow to the junction of the Jackson and Webster branch trails, snow depths increase from 1 to 4 feet up to treeline. Snowpack was frozen this morning which made for good hiking, also these trails are on the northwest side of the ridge so the sun has not worked to soften it too much yet. Wore stabilicers for traction. |
