 | Comments: |
Great day for a hike, temps were nice and there was hardly any wind. Trail conditions were mostly packed down snow. We did put Hillsounds/Microspikes on at the ledges, due to ice, on Mt Major and left them on for the rest of the day. Major-Straightback Link was in great condition, limited ice. Straightback-Anna Link had a couple of tricky spots with the ice. Overall trails were easy to follow.
We did post a video of our adventure showing trail conditions for anyone who is interested. Just click on the link. |
