 | Comments: |
The trail up Rowe is steep, which warmed us up quickly. Up on the ridge it is all crusty ice and snow, we put the micro spikes on 1/4 mile into the trail and left them on until we came back down to the parking lot. Washington was snow capped and easily visible from the top of Gunstock, views were lovely from Rowe and Gunstock. |
