 | Comments: |
1" of new snow at the trailhead. Maybe as much as 4-5" of new snow approaching the intersection of Tecumseh and Sosman trails. A couple of deeper drifts near the summit. Did the loop over the summit counter clockwise to stay out of the wind.
Per an earlier report, snowshoes were ideal after the last water crossing to the summit. Still lots of snow. Bare-booted to that point on the way up, but used microspikes on the way down.
Notwithstanding the wind, probably one of the nicest views from that summit today.
The hike from Livermore parking area via the XC ski trail is a nice addition to this hike. I think less than a mile; took me maybe 15 minutes one way to get to the trailhead.
