 | Comments: |
Less snow up here than points south. Only a dusting in shady/northern facing areas, otherwise basically snow free. A few minor patches of ice that could be stepped over. One shaded stretch on the upper auto road that was snow/ice covered, but grippy enough to boot. Muddy areas on the various trails were somewhat frozen over.
Nice sunny day under clear skies, though seemingly frigid with some light wind and temperatures below freezing. Nice views of the snow covered Presidentials. |
