Trip Report/Photos

We cruised up the Crawford Path to the summit of Mt. Pierce on 3 inches of freshly packed snow which provided great traction on the otherwise very icy trail. After summiting Mt. Pierce, we headed over to Mt. Eisenhower. The trail to Mt. Eisenhower was hard packed snow with lots of ice, monorails, and postholes. The summits were in the clouds and breezy with the toasty wind chill of 0F.
