 | Comments: |
This is a very well marked trail with easy access from the Flume Visitor Center, and as the guide book describes "excellent views for modest effort".
The lower half of the trail was ice and slush while the top half was packed powder. The sounds from the highway faded away quickly (maybe due to the direction of the wind?) so there was more solitude on the trail than expected. |
