 | Comments: |
Below 2,500' the trails were mostly dry except for the usual wet areas. Spikes went on at about 3,500’ and off at 3,000’ with minor snow and ice while in the wooded areas with bare rock in some of the open spots. Osgood Trail had a combination of bare rock, ice and, a Traces of snow. Airline Cutoff went from flowing water to boot deep snow. Brookside above the Watson path is an eroded mess as well as the low section of lower Bruin. |
