 | Comments: |
The conditions that were reported Monday had solidified and made for a relatively easy hike to Jefferson. Jewell was icy and spikes went on early and stayed on all day. Conditions improved to packed snow with elevation and there were only a couple of rocky spots even above tree line. As Jefferson goes this was the easiest "winter" trip yet. |
