 | Comments: |
There is snow cover on the trail from trailhead to summit - maybe about 6 - 10 inches at the bottom and more at the upper elevations. It was hard packed in the morning but as the day progressed and the temperatures continued to rise (about 50 degrees) it got soft and mushy. There were plenty of postholes along the way and the footing could get tricky in some spots once (if) things get colder again. |
