| Comments: |
We went up Sandwich Dome to the summit and back on the same trail. Thanks to the group who broke the trail up to Noon Peak! Fromm there the six of us had to break up to the Sandwich Dome...it was time consuming...so we had to skip Jennings Peak on the return. The snowshoe track is now firm and hopefully will stay that way if people continue to use snowshoes. Sunny skies on Noon Peak provided excellent views with clouds moving in by the time we reached the summit but the ceiling was high so we were provided dramatic views. |
