 | Comments: |
Fall leaves on the trail down low. Pockets of mud scattered around. Snow on trail higher up along with crunchy ice. Garfield Ridge Tr had more crunchy ice and 2 - 3 inches of powdered snow. I had no issues barebooting up. I managed to barefoot down just fine, but that is not as wise. Microspikes are not a bad idea for the descent. |
