The trail is wet but we bare booted until just before the first intersection. The trail was snow covered after that, but not deep at all. Some parts were soft and some firmer. We wore spikes for the rest of the hike (minus the last mile or so). I don't imagine the snow will last long if it warms up. The snow was dripping off the trees like crazy- bring your rain coat for the next few days! A pleasant hike with Sunshine and Tara, and not too bad conditions for May.
