On Monday, Marmot72 and I battled the high winds on Eagle Peak down in the Sangres. I figured I'd share in case anyone's interested in ideas for winter hikes and hasn't researched Eagle yet. Cheers and Merry Christmas!
I was just researching this yesterday. I love spending the winters on Sangre ridge routes! Nice work, looks like I’ve got some trench poaching to do... :roll:
Brer, best of luck, but our tracks above the lake were likely gone by the time we reached the car. After we got hurried down the peak by the wind, we were surprised that our tracks in the trees were already blown over in several places. However, there was a solid ATV track up the road most of the way to the lake, and I imagine it’s still mostly intact.
brer - G’luck if you head up there. You’ll probably have somewhat of an indentation to follow up the road, but above the lake my guess is our trench is long gone.
MtnHub/PaliKona/Jay - Thanks!
Monster - This was a rare case in which the path of most resistance was to head straight up the ridge line into the wind, so Steve was happy sticking to the standard route :D
