Trail was nicely packed down. We used microspikes which gave us perfect traction on the way up and down. Once we got above treeline- the correct trail gets kind of lost. Blaze's must've been covered under snow/ice. We followed the trail that was broken out which let us to the ski slopes. Sneak up there along the side and you will find your way to another little trail that leads to the summit.
Really nice day, a little windy above treeline. Full hike recap and photos in my blog listed below |
