 | Comments: |
SLA has closed the trails, but were easily trekked. Brook crossings caused no issues, though hiking boots or something of that nature would make your hike much easier upon reaching the more drenched portions of the trails. Didn't see snow or ice until about the last 0.3 miles, but didn't cause issues until descent from the summit. Ladders up to the caves beneath the summit are stable and usable; please be cautious. |
