Absolutely stunning day with great friends. Some familiar faces out today. Most everyone we saw today had snowshoes on and they most certainly were needed. Powder under crust made for some iffy footing on the way up and snowshoes went on at bald peak junction. They stayed on until back to the car. A few lone post holes to contend with but overall a pleasurable hike on well beaten trail. With more snow on the way snowshoes are the way to go! Get out there and enjoy it! |
