absolutely beautiful hike from Pinos to Sawmill to Grouse. Started at 7:30am and the snow was still firm/icy. Put microspikes on as I started to descend Pinos on the way to Sawmill. I would definitely recommend microspikes. On the way back the snow started to soften but never sunk too far. Lots of footprints to follow but still managed to get off trail a couple times. Met a fellow social hiker that has already completed a couple other challenges this year.
It was nice hiking with you. Best of luck with the rest of your challenge!
For Sure! Did you get your two peaks in on the way home like you wanted?
I did! And they were brutal! Also managed to squeeze in Strawberry yesterday????
