 | Comments: |
Trails were snow free, but the upper ledges had a fair amount of black ice. I was able to carefully bareboot without trampling the vegetation along the side of the trail, but a little bit more ice would necessitate traction of some sort.
Mostly sunny late afternoon with temperatures just below freezing. Brief snow flurries moved through after dark. |
