I went up Zig Zag today and got a bit closer to Truck Summit. I turned around at about 3500 feet – not because of too much snow – I just wanted to see what the trail was like these days. There was snow from about 3200 feet to 3400 feet but when I made the turn south the snow disappeared. I could see it was deep a ways up the trail towards the truck. I figure another 3 or 4 weeks should see the trail clear. I will remember that.
As always, Zig Zag is very steep and rugged but not that bad – going up, at least. I took the long way down and it was just good fun. Plenty of views. I had to put trash bags over my shoes to get across Mine Creek but it worked out just fine.
A bit more than 9 miles on a beautiful May day. Summer is almost here!
