It has been another winter of mainly wearing microspikes with hiking boots. Trails get tramped down after a snowfall by skiers and snowshoers and then there's melt, refreeze, melt, refreeze. The trails become a slipperly slope. Microspikes are perfect for these conditions and stretch right over hiking or snow boots. They bite into the ice and keep you from slipping and sliding. I use hiking poles too and am a happy upright hiker! I have my snowshoes along for the ride in case conditions call for them instead. You really don't know what you need on your feet until you get to the trailhead. Here's what I've been seeing out and about.
