Great day to be in the outdoors! Trail well packed and frozen during the beginning of hike. Wore snowshoes whole way up and back. Had forgotten spikes at home but those would have been okay most of the way. Trail quickly softened up in the sun but not too bad. Lot of people bare boot/spikes, but that was creating post holes in some places. Tried to get behind those people to pack down with snowshoes. Summit a bit windy but wasn't cold. Met a lot of smiling faces!! |
