| Comments: |
We wore snowshoes up even though there were a few patches of open ground at lower elevation. We saw several other groups, none wearing snowshoes. We opted to change to Hillsounds for the hike down and slipped and slid on slushy snow the whole way. The views were spectacular. Beedee Falls is no longer frozen and the ice shelf to pose underneath did not appear stable. |
