 | Comments: |
Snow overnight and during the hike made snowshoes a necessity on this hike. About 4 inches of fresh powder with a stable surface underneath. Many step overs on small tributaries to the river with one true river crossing. Overall trail is in good condition and easy to follow the whole way up. Cabin up top is unlocked and the only other hikers we met all day were coming up in the afternoon to sleep there overnight. |
