 | Comments: |
19 mile brook Trail was mostly a sidewalk and spikes worked great. Once up to Zeta Pass, snowshoes were preferable to deal with the drifting on the way up to Carter Dome and then across the Carters. Finally switched back to spikes on the Imp Trail. All in all, trails were in great condition. It was very cold with single-digit temps, but as long as that was managed and made for a great day. |
