| Comments: |
The last report mentioned that the first mile is a muddy mess, but the colder temperatures have (mostly) cleared that up. No mud early and only in certain areas on the way back. Still no need to back snowshoes. The trail is well packed all the way to the summit. Microspikes were needed - I should have just put them on in the parking lot. |
