Two cars when I pulled in; those hikers did a great job breaking the main trail stem to the split. Their tracks went toward the South Ledges, so I decided to break trail to the North Ledges. Wow, what a workout! Each step was sinking in the 10+ inches of loose, heavy snow, but so much fun. Enjoyed beautiful views from the ledges and decided on an out-and-back instead of breaking the 1.5 miles to South. So, that stretch probably still needs a blazer if you're up for it! |
