 | Comments: |
Great day for a loop of the slopes of Jefferson. Some ice on the Castle Trail while climbing the Bowman ridge. Ice also present on Randolph Path, between Perch and Log Cabin. I carried MICROSpikes, but didn't need to put them on. A little snow left on the ground in the vicinity of The Perch. |
