Microspikes for Winter Hikes!
❆❆❆❆❆ Lake Blanch. 6.9 miles. 2706 feet elevation gain. Date hiked: Jan. 16, 2021 This year, for the first time in hiking history, the hiking history of Leti and Stacey that is, we went on a winter hike, compliments of microspikes! Leti's Christmas present for the win! I gave this hike 5 out of 5 snowflakes. It was fantastic to go on a hike in January in the Wasatch Mountatins! The trail was great. The weather was perfect. The snow was really beautiful. First, microspikes. What a great invention. Here is what they look like on bottom and the top: What a great invention! They worked swimmingly well on snow and ice. In slush, they did stick just a bit, but I thought they still worked well. Second, the hike. As we hiked up the trail, Leti was her usual athletic self with her less-athletic friend in tow. Luckily for the less-athletic, slightly out-of-shape friend, this hike was a little easier in snow. The trail was not rocky at all. Just snowy. There were a few points on the way up
