 | Comments: |
Side trails are not particularly well-packed; snowshoes the way to go (fortunately had only seen snowshoe traffic). Mt. Prospect Trail fairly well bootpacked up to the viewpoint. Boney in the snow shadow, but made it through with snowshoes without issue. Generally about a foot of snow, except in some softwood stands and the snowshadow.
Cloudy afternoon with temperatures in the lower 30s (felt like there may have been a temperature inversion, but not sure; felt balmy compared to the last few weeks). |
