 | Comments: |
Snowshoes car to car. Well traveled to White's Ledge, a bit less so to Mt. Stanton, then unbroken powder until after Mt. Langdon. Trail breaking was easy except for the climb up Langdon - sinking in 10-12" there - but still manageable and fun solo.
Lots of nice views from the various ledges and little peaks, including to Iron Mtn., where I was yesterday. Followed deer and coyote prints for a long time. Needed to refer to gps only twice which was a surprise.
Langdon Shelter has been removed. The privy is still standing and in good shape but is getting rather... full.
Pretty winter wonderland up there right now!
