 | Comments: |
Perfect day with great trail conditions. 8 deg when we started and 25 deg when we ended. Used micro spikes after the first mile and never took them off. Enough snow to start filing in all the nooks and crannies between the rocks, but it’s still early. Snow shoes went along for the ride. |
