| Comments: |
Trail was generally snow free. Pooled water in one place prior to crossing 3 likely due to Irene damage. Very little snow encountered until above 4,000 feet. Some snow/ice near the scrambles - light traction probably a good idea, though doable with care. Quasi-consistent snow (1-2") between viewpoints. Ground generally not frozen. |
