Description
This trip ended up being a snowshoe hike to The Gash below Andrews Glacier, Otis Peak, and the Sharkstooth in Rocky Mountain National Park. The forecast wasn't good and snow conditions were worse. Fortunately I was able to convince everyone to bring snowshoes along or we would have likely turned around before we even reached The Loch. It ended up being a nice hike for some exercise and scenery.
