Comments
Comments: Snowshoes car to car except for road walks. Turned out to be a warm, sunny day. At times we wished we were wearing shorts. Snow turned to somewhat sticky mashed potatoes but not terribly so, and progress would've been much more grueling without snowshoes.

The many little coves on Five Finger Point Trail were beautiful. Descending Ramsey Trail was a bit of an eye opener at the end of the day. Some cool icicles coming off the cliffs there.

All in all a fun day tagging all the official trails on the Rattlesnakes.
