Comments
Comments: The trail is bare with only a couple spots of snow before the 3rd crossing and that had melted quite a bit on the way back. We put on microspikes just before 4000' Kept them on the rest of the way and took them off when we got past the snow and ice on the way down. Spur trail was packed except for the south facing slope that was near bare. Light breeze, warm temps and blue sky. Great day.
