 | Comments: |
The lower elevations were decidedly fall like, but the upper half of the trail was a snowy wonderland. Lots of snow and ice. Some puddles were frozen over. Some people didn't have traction, but on the steeper sections, there was considerable sliding by those without traction. Would strongly encourage microspikes. Not enough snow yet for snowshoes. |
