 | Comments: |
The trail was dry with a steady grade towards the bottom. About halfway up it started to sprinkle a little and the leaves/rocks were slippery. Most of the upper section to this hike is rocky. Only a few mud patches though. There were just a few small snow patches left at the very top but those will likely be gone soon. Ended up walking down the road because the trail was wet and slippery after a few rain showers. Wonderful shelter area off the side of the road about 1.6 miles up with a great view. |
