    Wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous views. You were smart for stopping in Silverton, regardless of the weather, that’s a great town to visit. Thanks for sharing your videos.

    Really great coverage of the trail, I love your videos. Great job covering some difficult terrain. Out of curiosity, did you bring micro spikes or other traction for the snowy slopes and (either way) do you think it's worth the weight to bring given what you've encountered so far, or just make do with kick steps and stepping carefully?

    • @uptothehills2053
      @uptothehills2053  4 месяца назад

      Yes. I had both microspikes and ice axe but only occasionally used them. ice axe was more useful as the snow was often soft or well kicked in so microspikes were not that helpful.

    How do you find / stay on the trail when you can’t see it? 🤯

      Have a GPS app. Meanwhile, I thought you would be more concerned about the bear I saw 500m from where I camped! 😆
