Mixed trail conditions for a spring surprise.. all of the above listed was present. About a half mile from junction to summit is when we threw on rock spikes.. on/off wet trail and snowy remnants..there was a semi stable monorail of sorts, walk around some parts or balance it to not post hole. Past the junction there was a bit more snow to grab there & exposed summit is rock. Lots of moving/standing water, mud and wet leaves at lower elevation you can some parts hug the side trail to get around, you’ll prob step in some slop.
Beautiful, windy day up there. Spring conditions at TH but happy I had some warmer layers higher elevation. Haven’t fully retired my winter pack yet … sooooon? 😅🤞
Be safe, happy hiking ! 🥾 |
