 | Comments: |
The trail was well packed. We wore spikes all the way. We carried our snowshoes in the event that we started to posthole. Luckily since the snow was very firm from the cold temps we did not need them. The last mile up North is very steep. Coming down South was also steep but the spikes held the snow well. No other hikers on the trail.
