Comments
Comments: There are 2 bathrooms at the trailhead. Trail was rather muddy and wet to start, but got drier the higher in elevation we went. Running water on the trail in spots. Ice on the trail and rock slabs maybe three quarters of a mile or so from the summit. We opted to use our spikes (though we saw plenty of folks barebooting). Some snowflakes flying as we descended.
