Comments
Comments: The trail shows trace snow and ice almost from the beginning. Towards the top, the snow is only 2-3" at most, and easily traversed. Light traction could help, but I found it unnecessary. Aside from the large group of 10-12 hikers going to Jennings, I only came across 4 other people all day. Chilly temps, low wind, great clear views, and an all around nice little hike. Took me a bit under 5 hours to do all three peaks and return to the lot.
