Getting to the trailhead is a hike in itself but the day turned out great. There were a few wet spots, snow in the trails near the top and there is a slight need for some fresh blazes in the woods but other than that, what an amazing spring hike (esp. this early in the season). Good to pack a walking pole to keep things steady and avoid any slips but a bit of slow and easy should keep you on your feet just fine. Took lots of pics but dont have them online to post here. Great views though!!!! |
