Started up Jewell by going by base station and cutting over tracks. The section is roped off at junction with trail proper. On the way down we followed sign to parking lot. The trail pokes out a half mile below Cog lot- directly across from the large sign for Ammo trail head. No bueno |

 | Comments: |
Trail below tree line is mostly ice with several sections turning to mud in the afternoon sun. Hill sounds were fine. Saw several with crampons up high. We stayed with the hill sounds. Saw a couple bare booting. Not recommended. Great under cast most of the day with light winds and bright sun. |
