发帖数: 11530 | 7 Great hike last Sat.
Made it to Gem Lake. Tons of people going to Snow Lake, but only a dozen of
so to Gem and no Oriental faces. Windchill on the way to Gem was in the
teens.
A few places with very slick ice, but made it through only with hiking boots
. Saw many people wearing microspikes though. |
