 | Comments: |
Wore microspikes the entire time as the trail was nicely packed out from start to finish. There are two very brief sections, one on the northern approach to the summit, where the snow gets a little balky, but snowshoes are not required. Unfortunately, the week's forecast will likely change all of this. On our descent, the warming sun was already melting some of the snow bridges on the drainages [which is one of the reasons snowshoes should be worn]. |
