 | Comments: |
Snowshoes went on after the ice bridge crossing, came off on return when below that. There are postholes, but I’ve seen worse; mostly they are off of the path. Of the 10 or so folks I saw today, prob half or more wore snowshoes. Start of hike to the ridge: more somewhat sticky snow; ridge to Flume, some of that and also snow more powdery.
Snowshoes mandatory for between Liberty and Flume. Not as many people have been here, so it’s less consolidated.
Hurry and get ‘em while it’s still Winter! |
