| Comments: |
Lonesome Lake Trail was hard packed and fast. The short stretch of KRT to the summit was broken out by a snowshoer and a couple bareboot tracks. I used snowshoes all the way to the summit and switched to spikes for the return. The short steep sections on KRT were easily navigated on semi-packed snow. No ice at all. |
