A few blowdowns, one of which I had to take my pack off to duck under. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Mine had a great time but we saw no others. Water was available at a few crossings down low. The Liberty Springs spring was also flowing but we didn't take advantage of this one because people will need to scoop out of the same pool and I don't think Golden Retriever is the best water flavor. |

 | Comments: |
14/48 for my pup on a warm, non-windy day with lots of undercast visible from both Liberty and Flume.
I barebooted to about a half mile below the tentsite and then put on spikes all the way back to the car. Snowshoes would also be a fine choice for much of the trail, especially for traction/televators going up to the top of Liberty. Trails are very fast right now. If you're heading to Flume be prepared to get covered in snow from the low-hanging branches. |
