A nice day to get these 2 peaks. Overcast sky with some snow fleurries for about 20 minutes. Limited views from the peaks. Temps from 20 to 35. Saw 7 hikers and 2 dogs. About 1 inch of snow at the trailhead and about 2 inches at the peaks. Some ice flow at a few places on the trail make it a bit slippery. I carried light traction but did not use it. Poles were helpful. Another great day to be out in the mountains. |
