 | Comments: |
The trail started firm first thing in the morning. As we continued up, the warm temperatures was messing with the monorail [???] towards the top. Some of the ice had running water underneath. There were post holes and snow was soft. Half way down the snow was spring hiking. Snowshoes would have helped, but you would have still sank as the temperature were rising. There was even bare spots. Very changeable. |
