 | Comments: |
As of this morning, all trails were broken and well packed. In our party, two wore spikes, one crampons, and one snowshoes. The few other hikers we saw were in either spikes or shoes.
It snowed most all day, so by mid afternoon there was more loose snow in the trails. Significant snow is expected this week but the snowshoe track is deep.
Regarding other trails, two hikers in shoes had come up from the south on Kedron Flume and Willey Range and reported no problems, including with the stairs. Two others in spikes headed out A-Z to Zealand, and the A-Z trail appeared broken in that direction. |
