Well I forgot how much I hate May hiking with rotting monorails. Snow patches didn’t start til about 3450’ and then disappears before it reappears again til almost the peak. It just goes very patchy. I barebooted with my trail runners, and not sure if spikes would have helped or hurt. I took the chance and carried them. I was the only one on trail
But saw a few on the road on my way out. Hale is now gridded out thankfully. |
