 | Comments: |
Gale River Trail was relatively dry compared to other times we've done it. Going up South Twin wasn't bad, but earlier in the day, snow and sleet created some slick conditions at the higher elevations. LOTS of mud between South and North Twin. It was fun trying find the rocks in the mud. No traction needed, but no doubt if there is any measurable snow or rain, it will be soon! |
