 | Comments: |
The trail is snow-free until about mile 5.5 from 5 Corners. Then, it sets in. Monorail on the way up. The hut tenders are wonderful. Unstable monorail a half hour or so later on the way back down. One mile of significant snow. Microspikes to get to Galehead Mtn. Snowshoes for Twin Mountain. |
