Comments
Comments: Brutally cold day. Trail was in good shape - frozen solid, well marked and packed down. Microspikes the whole way. Some drifting in the higher elevations though only up to 4 inches or so. Saw 4 other groups including people we knew! We were all frozen. Quite an adventure to be out today
