| Comments: |
No one had been there since before the previous snow,rain &ice. The trail was smooth with a nice crust on top. It was nice. We saw no other hikers until halfway back down. The snow had become very soft. We encountered 12 other hikers. Only 4 of them had snowshoes! The rest pretty much ruined the trail with numerous postholes. Once it re freezes it will be worse. |
