A fun snowshoe up to Hedgehog, been a long while! Took the west part of the loop to the summit, which was well packed, then ended up breaking out the east loop with my group, and was trailed by two other groups. The east loop is now packed by at least 7 sets of shoes. Snow getting soft and heavy in the early afternoon, will likely refreeze tonight. Go out and get it tomorrow before it softens again! |
