| Comments: |
The trail is broken out to the summit of Hale. Thanks to the skier and snowboarder who broke most of the way up Fire Warden’s. If you are hiking, you might end up on the skier/snowboarder tracks if you’re not careful. On the way out, I noticed that North Twin bypass after the junction of Fire Warden’s had been broken out…not sure how far or what the big water crossing at the end is like.
It was pretty windy and there was some drifting up high. In the brief time while we were at the summit, some of our tracks started to fill back in. Snowshoes for the whole day (after crossing the private bridge). |
