 | Comments: |
Brought snowshoes and used them for less than a mile. Snow only 7" deep at beginning, more and less to summit. Snow was very sticky, felt like our snowshoes weighed 20 pounds. Barebooted rest of the way up and down. Some slippery ledges, use caution. Black bear tracks close to summit, also fox and bobcat. Great day, some views, windy up high. |
