Trail up to Mt. Roberts was well packed with some previous postholing. We had to break trail from summit of Mt. Roberts to Faraway Mtn. Half inch of crust on top of the snow made for a tough trek. Lots of animal activity evident in the snow. Views would have been better under clear skies. Only saw one other hiker all day.
We did post a video of our adventure and trail conditions for anyone who is interested. Click on the link. |
