 | Comments: |
Hiked up on 3/16, summited Liberty and Flume, camped and came down morning of 3/17. Liberty Spring Trail is mud with lots of flowing water from ~2100 ft and down. Above ~2100ft we used snowshoes both 3/16 and 3/17, with thin packed snow increasing to reasonable depths at the top. Fresh snow was falling this morning on upper slopes, with fresh sleet on lower. |
