 | Comments: |
Beautiful bluebird day... hard for first two thirds of kinsman trail. A bit softer on last third and beyond. Trail on Col between north and south was mostly drifted but I tramped it down pretty good on the out and back. Saw lots of people on the return trip down, most of them with microspikes which i'm sure were problematic between North and South. |
