 | Comments: |
Road walk to bridge was easy to bareboot, trail was soft with about 2-3 inches of unconsolidated snow at the base, with about 6 inches of fresh snow the higher we climbed. Snowshoes were the right weapon of choice, as older frozen postholes were difficult to see and a PITA to maneuver around. Trail was left in great condition by our group but with the soft conditions definitely recommend snowshoes for the next few days |
