 | Comments: |
Beautiful hike- even on a cloudy day. Almost the entire trail was covered with a layer of thick ice. We wore micro-spikes the entire time and I wouldn't recommend hiking this one without traction. The final 3/4 mile up to the peak is super steep and icy, lots of rock exposed and some trickling water. |
