Ice is still pretty thick on the trail about 3000-3200 feet. A lot of sections are clear however. Light traction is recommended. My brother put on his micro spikes which made his life easy. I was stubborn and felt like rocking hopping and actually made it up the trail just fine without them. I'd say by the middle to end of this week (5/9) they shouldn't be needed, but brought just in case. Ski slopes are all clear if you want to hike down that way. |
