 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |

Trail was in pretty good shape. A few postholes, but not bad. |

 | Comments: |
Trail was well packed snow and easy to walk on. We wore snowshoes after reading reports about the snow softening up later in the day. I'm glad we did, too, because that's exactly what happened. A few people who were wearing spikes and saw our snowshoes commented that they wished they'd worn theirs. Since the trail is very steep I also felt that the snowshoes, with their larger crampons, helped a lot with traction, especially on the descent. |
