Trail very well marked and easy to follow. Not very long or difficult but it is mainly stairs all the way up so it's a good workout. Weather very nice for this time of year although a little windy at summit. Got to see the chairlift in action and many happy skiiers and snowboarders. Would recommend spikes although saw a few folks bareboot. A couple stretches of icy sections would be difficult without spikes. Saw quite a few people on the trail and even more at the summit. And passed 3-4 dogs having a grand old time. |
