 | Dog-Related Notes: |
There was one section on the stairs spur that was tricky but not impassable. We have good control of our dog so the steep drop off from the Stairs viewpoint wasn’t an issue but dogs should be minded there. |

 | Comments: |
Bareboot or spikes up to Crawford; too many exposed rocks for snowshoes there. Past Crawford, the snow is light powder so snowshoes were helpful on the way to stairs and resolution but not totally necessary. The Stairs trail was a little narrow and over overgrown (ducking and dodging low branches). On the way to Resolution, we were able to pass through the icy slab going up, but it’s definitely very sketchy and dangerous. But some hero broke out a bushwhack to the left of the slab that we used on the way down and that was a lot better. From Mount resolution to the south knob was not yet broken out, so we broke trail on that section with snowshoes. The view from the knob was very expansive. No real issues with wind past Crawford. The walk out felt very long, pack a positive attitude… |
