 | Comments: |
I changed my plans from Monroe after hearing the wind forecast for the higher summits. Moriah is always nice-- gorgeous views up high, but some navigational challenges; no one had been there lately and blazes are few and far between, or maybe buried in snow. Still a ton of snow up there ( up to the "neck" of trail signs), sticky and soft in the woods down low; crustier on the ledges. |
