Comments
Comments: Nice winter like hike to test out my new pack. I barebooted the whole way but some may prefer light traction. At higher elevation the trail was well packed making a nice snowy sidewalk. Down low it had turned to muddy slush by the afternoon. Nice to run into Jason, Andrew, Snowflea, & Fancypants along the way.
