| Comments: |
6 of us from a local hiking group did the 5.5 mile hike in about 5 1/2 hours with a break for lunch at the top. Most of us used microspikes but after going about 1/2 way up it would have been better to use snowshoes. Had a good hike with a combination of sunshine and snow squalls. We broke trail from the first lookout to the summit. One in snowshoes, one in crampons and the other 4 in microspikes. |
