| Comments: |
Today was perfect. Trails are in great shape but getting soft. I used spikes and snowshoes going up and then bare booted down. Spring snow is rotting fast and there are large clear sections heading to the summit. You cannot go wrong with a hike of The Moose. Today was #4 of my re-hike of the 48 for Rheumatoid Arthritis. |
