 | Comments: |
Laughing Lion Trail was dry and in good shape. Royce Trail was very eroded, brushed in, and had some wet/slippery rocks and running water. Royce Connector was generally dry. East Royce Trail had some slippery rocks, as well as a few small patches of ice (avoidable). Herd path to summit and northern view also had some wet spots, as well as some ice (generally avoidable). No snow on the trails, though there were a few small patches in the shaded cols near the summit. |
