This was our first trip this spring and our first  three-day hike.  Day One was COLD!  Temps in the 20’s, snow showers and a wicked wind blowing against us.  Fortunately, the steep incline and multiple layers kept us warm enough to complete it.   (An unexpected McDonald’s when we took our lunch break also helped,)  Day Two was about 10 degrees warmer and no snow showers, so a more pleasant walk.  Day Three was warmer still (in the 40’s) but drizzling part of the time and the intense wind was back.  The last day started with a two-summit climb but by the end, we were strolling on level ground.  All-in-all, a challenge both weather-wise and elevation-wise.
