| Comments: |
Spikes the whole way starting right from the parking lot. Pretty wet trail with lots of mud and running water. No need for snow shoes at any point. Monorail was narrow and unstable, and lots of post holing happening if you stepped off the trail by an inch. Chimney was snow free and fun to hike up, it was like hiking up a waterfall. The trail was very slick coming down, would definitely recommend spikes & poles. |
