 | Comments: |
Trail conditions took a major hit with what looked like Wednesday hikers bare booting in 50+ degree weather. Large sections of trails were badly postholed ranging from ankle to groin deep. Anyone looking to hike during/after Friday's forecasted snowfall should beware of hidden ankle rollers. Summit was almost all bare rock. |
