 | Comments: |
I took my 3 kids on the Percival Morgan loop and had a blast. The trail conditions were all over the place but I was thankful the snow pack was overall quite solid despite yesterdays rain. We went counter clockwise on the loop. Heading up Percival the trail had quite a bit of bare ground and rock here and there. The ridge was a post holed but firm trail. The way down Morgan was snowier and Percival and started to soften up in the afternoon sun a bit. We carried snowshoes but we’re better off with spikes the entire time. |
