Nice day above tree line. Valley Way was wet, muddy, and filled with frozen postholes. Used crampons above Watson Path, but it was doable in just spikes. Snowshoes also went for a ride today and probably won’t be necessary for a little bit. Snyder Brook was also flowing pretty well, some crossings looked somewhat sketchy. |
