Quick trip to get Coop some exercise. Snow coverage started out at a few inches (with only a dusting under some trees), and increased to about 8-12" at higher elevations; entire trail is broken out. Bare booted up to the shelter w/o issues. Put on spikes to get across the water crossings and left them on for descending. Return trip was fast and fun since all the rocks and roots were under snow, just snowy bulges for about half of they way down. Great snowy wonderland out there. |
