EISPIRATEN

Thanks so much Karen, your post was helpful !

I hiked up today, 5/12. Trail conditions have not changed much from your description. I hit the trail at 11:00 a.m. The trail was clear until mile 3 and then there were patches of slushy snow. Needed to go off the trail to get around some of it, but it ...

I'm looking to hike to Mt. Baden Powel from Vincent Gap.

What are the trails like?
How much snow / ice?

I've heard great things about Lowas! thanks! So far I've been really interested in the Zamberlan 710 Steeps . I do need good ankle support which the Zamberlans offer.

I need a good hiking boot to hike sixty miles from Kings Canyon to Mt. Whitney, with a pack of about 30 to 40 pounds. .

I bought the Vasque Breeze GTX , but not sure if this is supportive enough for back to back days of long distances.
