Great day to hike liberty, only saw two other people headed down on our way up. Mostly dry trail until you encounter some snow and then a steady thin monorail. Spikes were the move once we hit consistent snow and couldn’t rock hop so easily. Snowshoes would’ve been a death sentence I feel like, the monorail is thin af but solid. If you step off the mono rail you know. It snowed the night before and everything was melting quickly, so much it felt like it was raining. Conditions won’t be consistent for long so good luck |
