| Comments: |
The loop through to N Baldface, which i did not complete, had pockets of deep very wet and soft snow, with significant post holing. I went down Slippery rock trail to avoid this, but another person who I met did not, and I met up with him at the end and he was soaking wet and limping.
But a beautiful day. |
