Comments
Comments: We took advantage of the warm if cloudy and windy weather to bag the Hancocks. Due the the mid-40s temp the beautifully packed trail was soft, but only gave an inch or two so we and everyone we saw were rocking microspikes. There was a large group of about a dozen, but the trail was still in decent shape on our way out with minimal post holes.
