Comments
Comments: Mt. Hale Trail is dry to the first main water crossing, and wet but bare to the second water crossing. Increasing patches of monorail above that (ie starting at the switchbacks), becoming consistent within quarter of a mile. From there to the straightaway, monorail is anywhere from a foot to three or so feet deep. Somewhat firm, but crumbling. You can walk beside it for a little while, but much of it is wall to wall coverage.

Summit is mostly snow free, other than a small snowbank where the snow tower once stood.
