 | Comments: |
The trail, up to and including the first set of ledges, were relatively dry and totally free of snow/ice. Above the first set of ledges, there was a slight dusting of new snow over solid ice. As we approached the final set of ledges before the summit and fire tower, the snow/ice stopped. All the ledges were wet in some areas, but easily avoidable. Not a great day to be hiking one of the "52 with a view". |
