 | Comments: |
White Mountain sidewalk conditions throughout with only short stretches of loose snow and minor drifting between Mts. Field and Willey. Trails couldn't be more ideal for spikes, which we wore car to car. Both the western end of the A-Z Trail and the Willey Range Trail below Mt. Willey had seen some traffic.
Stunning hike with Chris and Renee under changing skies. With no wind, the -2F start was comfortable. We saw two other hikers all day.
