Mix of all the November conditions. There's no sign of winter (yet) below about 2,000', ish. After that, the snow starts to appear, first off to the side of the trail and then finally on the trail. We put spikes on at the summit of Jennings Peak (easier for the descent down it) and wore them up to Sandwich Dome and then back to the same point. Spikes were definitely not STRICTLY needed today, but they did make parts of the hike easier. There were a few inches of snow at the summit of Sandwich Dome--it definitely looks like winter up there! |
