Comments
Comments: A wonderful day to be out!!! Sections of the trail are more stable now thanks to a few snowshoe users. Someone obviously didn’t wear them earlier in the day or before today and there were a few post holes. A bit of a mess on the narrow, short, edgy part of the trail right before you start to cross over a big river crossing then into more steeper sections. Barebooters literally destroyed this section of trail....and with the sun and warmth on it all day, it was mashed potatoes on the descent.
We got down relatively quickly though and it was a beautiful “winter” day with Spring like conditions.
