This AM the Lambert Ridge trail was covered with a couple of inches of snow but footing was good..lower ledges were clear with only a couple of icy spots...Ranger Trail up high was much more icy but the snow covered slabs did not cause much of a problem..tower covered with rime ice but great views today..Ranger Trail mid section is rocky and wet but again not icy enough as we did not wear microspikes today, but thought of it..lower Ranger had some muddy spot and leave covered mud pits...snow melted when we returned to trailhead area... |
