| Comments: |
Trail was great! little icy in spots but at the top was all melted water on the rock slates. No spikes needed, yet coming down they helped move quickly without having to worry about each step. The summits were incredible, little windy, but the views were the best this winter so far! Trail was a mix between dirt and very few patches of ice but mainly a rock scramble/walk for the last 3/4 of the trail! Out and back from Dugway Rd took about 5-6 Hours since we went all the way out to North Moat and back. |
