| Comments: |
Nice CCW loop of Jennings and Sandwich Dome. Saw 4 other people on the trail, the weather was cloudy and both peaks essentially socked in. 56 deg F on Sandwich Dome. Trails in good condition and easy enough to follow, including a minor reroute lower down on SMT. First hike of the year without carrying spikes with me. No signs of snow anywhere here. |
