 | Comments: |
Managed to bare boot the entire thing without much difficulty. Did see 1 person in snowshoes and 1 person in spikes. There's 1/2" to 2" of new snow with some deeper drifting just below the summit. Other than the walking in sand feeling, however, it was easy to navigate and the previous track kept me from post holing. The lower 1/2 of the trail does have some significant mud and running water on the trail, so wear the waterproof shoes! I wore my trail runners and had no issue. Only saw 3 other people. |
