 | Comments: |
This trail needs a couple of weeks to thaw out and dry up. Probably best to skip it for now.
The flats down low were generally ice monorail. The ascent was very muddy with some running water higher up. The flats just below the summit ledges were pooled water.
Not enough snowpack on this low elevation trail to snowshoe. The ice was flat, so I didn't use spikes either. |
