Trails(s) Hiked:Ascent= Crawford Path Connector/Crawford Path/Webster Cliff/Eisenhower loop
Total Distance:10 miles
Difficulty:Moderate/Strenuous
Conditions:Super Highway packed No need for snow shoes
Special Required Equipment:Wind gear and normal winter Gear.
Trip Report:Hiked Pierce and Eisenhower on Last Wednesday Feb 28th. Bear booted the whole trip. Sorry this is so late but just got pictures today at work from my buddy. We had a beautiful day, partly cloudy, but mostly sunny. My Car said that it was Ten degrees at the trail head, but it was 35 on the summit of Pierce. The wind was whipping pretty good above tree line, especially on Eisenhower. We met another hiker on Eisenhower that had come from Washington that day, and said that Washington was calmer than Eisenhower. He was hiking with a smaller dog, black, maybe like a terrier or something. It had doggie booties and a gortex sweater with a handle so he could lift him over more difficult obstacles. He told me that he was hiking the 48 peaks twice this winter for charity. Anyone no who he is. I wanted to find out more about the charity but it was so freakin windy and cold that we only had enough time to snap a couple of pics for him. Her are some pictures of the trip.
