 | Comments: |
I parked at Miller State Park and walked the road to the Raymond Trail. The Raymond Trail, was covered with hard-packed snow, I didn't use traction. The summit was sunny and icy. The Marion Davis trail, was mostly hard-packed snow with small patches every now and then of mud, frozen mud, or puddles. I wore micro spikes for the whole trail, mainly just to control my descent a bit. there was never enough of an open stretch where I felt it was necessary to take the traction off. |
