| Comments: |
Both the road and the trail are easy hiking,mostly hard packed snow. I used snowshoes on the road and a short was up the trail coming in, and then switched to microspikes, which I ended up wearing for the entire rest of the hike, even the road. It was quite a warm day,so there were lots of folks out hiking. Summit views are non-existent, but there were some views of Washington through the trees near the top. |
