Beautiful day for a hike! The trail is a big mix of conditions with some exposed rocks and dirt at the beginning and then hardpacked snow with some monorails. Further up there is still plenty of snow with descent monorails. Postholing in shorts with crusty snow is not fun :) And buttsledding in shorts isn't the smartest move! Definitely bring your spikes and sunglasses! |
