Comments
Comments: Beautiful hike today just a trace amount of snow starting at 2800 feet as well as patches of avoidable ice. Micros went along as chimes. I met 4 other hikers on the way down and it was nice chatting. It was really a treat to have the road open this late🙂. My fingers are crossed that Zealand road is open in morning for a ZBond hike
