 | Comments: |
snowshoes best way in higher section of Dicey Mill and for travel between the two summits; a few people bare-booted recently and left their 'marks', breaking through the snow; luckily, snowshoes were able to remain stable even when hovering over holes with the snow still being strong enough. sunny on both summits; only on return to car did clouds roll in. Perfect morning hike. Met two parties having ascended via Blueberry Ledges--two said it was slippery in spots, one said it was easy ascend. |
