 | Comments: |
Climbed up without any spikes. On the upper part of the trail above the falls there were stretches of ice/snow that would have been a lot easier to traverse up/down with microspikes. Unfortunately, I left them in the car as did many others. Majority of the trail is clear of snow/ice. Just a few shady spots still hanging onto winter. |
