 | Comments: |
I carried snowshoes, but did the entire hike in microspikes. The lower part of the Harrington Trail just has boot travel and I probably should have used the snowshoes to pack it down. All other trails have nice snowshoe troughs. Mountain House is a white sidewalk, with a frozen surface requiring spikes. |
