 | Comments: |
Good conditions for hike on Hazelton/Haselton Trail. Some rivulets and easy water crossings. Bit of snow left on upper trail/ski trail. Amherst Trail and Long Trail were perfectly dry all the way to Chin. Gorgeous day and outstanding views. Went down part of Cliff Trail to gondolier: Bit dicey with some slick rock, leftover snow and patches of ice, but dry rock in the right places (not an easy trail and needs some agility with rock hopping). End of Cliff there was more snow and downed tree branches to navigate through to get onto service road. |
