 | Comments: |
Significant snow pack w./ variably stable monorail and numerous post holes. I did not have snowshoes, but wish I had them for the last third of the trail. Middle third, spikes worked fine. Boots were sufficient for first third.
What views there were (overcast day) were lovely. Trail is quite treacherous as is, made worse by blowdowns/snow/ice. |
