| Comments: |
Trails were very firmly packed, with a wide track. Most of the Liberty Spring Trail had been sledded and it will become a luge run if it thaws and freezes over but, for now, it's as uniform as can be. Perfect for microspikes or other light traction car to summit.
FRT towards Little Haystack was not broken. FRT from Liberty to Flume looked firmly packed as did the Flume Slide Trail, which had traffic today.
Bitterly cold day with stunning views. Great hike with Chris. |
