 | Comments: |
Small areas of knee and thigh deep snow slowed us down a bit. Bring gaiters and maybe spikes for another week or so. Waterproof boots also north facing slopes are very wet and slick. Leaves and bugs haven't arrived yet. Views and weather were terrific. Sunny approach to South is dry. |
