| Comments: |
Trails were broken out and perfect conditions for snowshoes; Hiked over to owls head but the steep pitch just before the summit was tough to maneuver in snowshoes, so we opted to leave that for another day. Too cold to swap snowshoes for spikes for such a small section. The Lenticular clouds above the prezis were putting on quite a show amongst the blue skies. If you haven’t done this in winter I’d say get on it! Great day ! |
