Comments
Comments: Trail was broken all the way to summit, could see where some have gotten turned around on trail. I can see why it’s not a very easy trail to follow when you get closer to top cause your practically walking in the trees the snow is so deep. Snow was sticky wore snowshoes the whole way. Some ice higher up under the snow but had no problems with snowshoes on. Beautiful day to be out.
