Valley way was a nicely packed out snowshoe trail. Difficult trail finding to Adams due to fog and rhime clouding up the goggles. Thanks to Ron W. and John B. for their excellent navigational skills and the help of multiple GPS's, we found Adams. Then back down and off we went toward Madison. First, a quick pit stop at the hut, changed from snowshoes to Hillsound trails and Hillsound trail pros then up to Madison. Although quite foggy, Cairns were visible and trail finding was relatively easy.
Congrats to John Bergman for finishing his winter 48, Woohoo!!! Thanks to Bob J, Ron W. and Suzanne B. for an amazing day! |
