Comments
Comments: Spectacular hike. Cold temps but very little wind. Bluebird skies with just a few high altitude clouds. Post-holes closer to the summit are something to be weary of, some are close to knee deep and frozen solid. Other than that great monorail makes for very pleasant hiking in mocrospikes. Would be nice if people relived themselves just a bit more off trail, there are lots of spots with yellow snow, please, let us try to practice our best LNT.
