 | Comments: |
Wentworth Trail was frozen granular this morning. I wore snowshoes all the way, but it could have been done with light traction or (though perhaps annoying) barebootedly.
Follow my tracks (you'll want snowshoes for this) from the cairn to the northeastern ledges for perhaps the best vista on the mountain. |
