Comments
Comments: Our hike up Starr King trail was all packed out. Since temperatures were in the high 30's on Wednesday, some of the trail's snowpack was granular and crusty. We encountered a couple as we were going up that decided to turn around because they didn't have snowshoes and were making postholes. Snowshoes make for an easy hike on this trail. Moderate grade and not a long hike. No views at the summit, but there is a ledge just north of the summit that provides for nice views on a clear day.
