Surprisingly good conditions meant the snowshoes went for a ride and I kept the spikes on from the Nineteen Mile Brook Trailhead until just before the turn off to Camp Dodge. It was crunchy ice down low, then a combo of ice and 2" of powder up high.
Was lucky enough to join up with a few college hikers who did a good job of breaking out the tiny amount of drift and chopping up the trail in the best possible way. Exchanged their efforts for a guided trip out via Imp rather than backtracking to Zeta.
All in all, very nice conditions for March. Post holes could be counted on one hand. |
