| Comments: |
Lower sections of the trail were mostly dry. Many muddy spots but all easily avoided. Higher up was drier with a few patches of ice/snow all easily avoided. Eastman Mountain trail was different. Either dry and easy or post-holing in soft snow that could not be avoided. I carried spikes but did not consider it worth putting them on. I did wish I had worn gaiters. No views on this rainy / misty day. |
