| Comments: |
Needed microspikes the second we got on the Jackson Webster trail through the entire hike except for both summits, took them off because there was a lot of bare rock. There was some post holes on the trails but not any. The most was on the Webster Cliff Trail, it looked like someone was sinking with snowshoes, my guess is on Wednesday. But they are very spread out and easy dodge. Did not need snowshoes at all today, we weren't sinking at all today, the trails were pretty packed down. It started raining right when we got down around 3:45-4:00, other than that it was a great day, pretty windy on the summits. We weren't sure if we would have to break trail to Pierce, so thank you to whoever did previously! |
