Pair of gloves, hat, glove liner were dangled off of tree branches along the way heading down. Hoping they were from the group that headed up today and they found them on their descent. |

Last minute decision was a great one! Nice temps, almost zero wind all day, and cloudy but interestingly beautiful skies. Trail starts with a thin layer of very packed snow and some short strips of mud/slush/running water (especially as the day warmed). More snow higher up, knee deep in places if you step off the trail but still not quite snowshoe-ready overall. Everyone we met today had micros. Fantastic views, wish we'd walked around the summit a little longer to take it all in! |
