 | Comments: |
LOTS of hikers on trails. 90% bareboot or spikes. Trails were drifted & choppy in many areas. We tried snowshoes to smooth trail but too much damage/postholes. Was bluebird day (w/ many Gray Jays!) w/ assorted conditions along the way. Met many whose hike was their first time on this range. Was asked where the "top" was on Field & Willey... Great day out w/ Lisa!!! |
