Old Bridle Path a packed highway. Some drifting snow on snowfields below Lafayette.

Franconia Ridge Trail broken all the way to Flume, could use some more packing down between Haystack and Liberty Springs jct.
Liberty Spring Trail to Bushwack to bike path to Basin parking area also in good shape, unfortunately some postholes on Liberty Springs Tr

Wind 30 mph Lafayette, 40's with gusts on Truman, 30's Lincoln, tame on the rest of ridge.

Wore MSR's the whole day, Crampons would be helpful on Lincoln

Ultra Paws Rugged dog booties for Terra
A great day to bag 4 winter 4ks

Reclimbing Liberty was tiring, but the sunset and 100 mile views made up for it!


Happy trails
