Well-packed trail throughout the entire counter-clockwise loop. Left Trailhead at 4 PM, walked the road, and ascended Winslow, where slightly tricky spot at the halfway point included flow ice that could be negotiated around carefully. Arrived at the cold and blustery summit At 5:15, watched the sun set at 5:25, and then, turning in the opposite direction, watched the moon rise at 5:43. First such event for 2 of the three of us. |
