 | Comments: |
Trail is a mix of bare ground, mud, standing water, old snow, and minor ice until about 2300' feet, bare boots are best. The rest of the way is mostly hard snow or ice, I used microspikes up and Hillsounds down so I could move faster as it was early morning and conditions had not softened up yet, but microspikes roundtrip from 2300' are fine, especially when it gets above freezing. |
