First 2 miles of trail is very gradual/easy. Some postholes on the sides but avoidable. Trail was firm on the way in through this section but softening even with the colder day today by afternoon with the sun. Will definitely be deteriorating by later this week when it warms again so bring snowshoes. Last 1.75 miles to summit is more steep but was very firm/packed well with only spikes needed today. The last .25 miles to summit is especially steep (more scary going down than up in my opinion)! Enjoy! |
