Comments
Comments: Ladder on Hi-Cannon is about 90% exposed and easy to navigate. Hi-Cannon and KRT are in very good shape, with 1-2" of fresh snow on hard packed monorail and very few potholes. Upper part of Lonesome Lake trail is also good, but lower part around the lake and back to parking has some tricky frozen postholes which were covered by the new snow. Fell several times on the way down.
