 | Comments: |
The bottom 1/2 of the hike was mostly dry, with some wet spots; the upper 1/2 had anywhere from a dusting of snow to straight-up snow and ice (including rime on the fire tower). It was also well below freezing, and the wind was quite strong. I used all five layers I brought. Definitely have to come back next year and hike the rest of the Holt Trail. |
