 | Comments: |
Down low the trail was very muddy and the water crossings were easy. The rocks were not completely exposed the whole way over but the water wasn't too deep. Also there was no ice and the snow started at exactly 3k. It was a monorail in some spots then bare trail. Most of it you could walk next to the snow. Some people in our group used spikes others did not. There was only one section too of running water on the trail about .5 from the hut. Overall a very easy hike. |
