Simply a spectacular day with many inches of snow on all the trees once you started to break tree line. The views and the blue sky was breath taking for sure and overwhelming. Took some great shots.
Did not make it to Sandwich Dome. I ran out of time. It was tough going and I was by myself and would have had to return in the dark which is alright if I am with somebody.
About 18 inches of snow or more in some places where it drifted. Nice Powder. A lot of ice under the snow. The only people I met was a group hiking up to Jenning Peak. Nice People!!! |
