Comments
Comments: We headed up in the rain at 36 degrees and an icy trail but by the time we got up to about 3000 ft it turned to light snow (sweet). There is big ice on the upper section of the trail but we did fine with micro spikes and the like. The snow cover is light with little or none on the trail. Views were limited in fog but we still had a great time. This trail is quite steep from the very start so be ready work hard for the first hour or so.
