With a stiff breeze whipping about from time to time, we arrived at the summit of Lafayette. It would be repetitive to again list all of the superlative views, so I won't do that again here.
We didn't stay long, because we wanted to get back to the car in a timely fashion so that we could make the long drive back home at a reasonable hour. So, a quick summit photo and we headed west, down the trail towards the Greenleaf hut, and from there down the Old Bridal Path trail to the trailhead.
I love these snowy cairns
The first part of the way down had a good amount of snow. Kick stepping down was a fast and easy way of making progress. Further on down, in the low scrub and pines, we were frustrated by the excessively postholed-up trail and the softness of the snow. For our own sanity, we re-donned our snowshoes, allowing us to stay on top of the snow rather than in it.
