Comments
Comments: We did attempt to go up Potash, but the river was really sketchy looking, so we abandoned that for Hedgehog. The Trail was well packed and we only used out microspikes. Nice monorail of snow going up Hedgehog. They got really balled up with snow on the eastern ledges in the sun. The day was warm and bright, but windy and cold in the shade. Busy for a Saturday, but plenty of parking at 8am. Einstein the super corgi enjoyed the day immensely.
