 | Comments: |
A great way to spend the morning, redlining out the last two trails I needed on Red Hill. Eagle Cliff Trail mostly dry up to Eagle Cliff itself, then beyond it was south facing slopes melted out, and north facing ones snow covered. Snowshoes would have been overkill, as the snow was soft and rotten, and the monorail isn't anywhere near consistent. Stepping in the post holes of others was the name of the game. I got up to the tower, and back down to Teedie Trail, which was thankfully dry and smooth. It was at least good to get out in trail runners and get down to shorts for a while! |
