Gorgeous day on Liberty! Trail is well packed. Used microspikes easily without postholing until about 1.5 from summit when I switched over to shoes for the remainder of hike. Left them on for duration of ascent and then first part of descent when I switched back to spikes. Trail was packed hard enough that there were no postholes. Saw a few other people out with a combo of spikes and shoes. Did not make it over to Flume but others did and said it was well broken out as well. |
