| Comments: |
A mix of dry and wet trail (with some mud) down low. Icy rocks and roots along the ledgy area. Some ice was covered by leaves. We found enough dry rock to step on but had to be cautious. The "waterfall area" had significant ice. Microspikes were helpful. Above treeline, there were bare rock with a few sections of small ice patches that were easy to step around. A bluebird day up high! A couple who had come from Pierce said the Crawford Path had significant ice and was really challenging. Slow going down Edmunds Path. |
