 | Comments: |
As anticipated, due to recent snow/rain the trails were really quite wet and muddy. Some patches of dry trail (mostly up higher) and some small patches of residual ice. I would say about half the mud was avoidable, though trail still very wet. Some area's there was no choice but to trek through it. There is one patch of ice about 20ft long on the White Trail, but avoidable with care. The carriage road was dry for the most part. Rock ledges on the White Trail were quite wet, I took one slide (thankfully not hurt), so take your time. Overall, a nice day to be out, views were very clear due to the breeze keeping low clouds away. Working on redlining, I'm now at 52% complete! |
