We parked at Seven Dwarfs Motel before 7 a.m. and left $10 on the windshield. From Seven Dwarfs, we went up the road to the trail to Little Haystack Road. Little Haystack Road had minimal snow and patches down to the dirt road. North Twin Trail is without snow for portions, as well as ice. Water crossing was passable by rock hoping. Fire Wardens trail had portions of ice and exposed mud. Mud was mostly avoidable. Higher elevation included a packed monorail. No post-holing. Reached the summit less than 2 hours, and we bare booted entire way. Some of my tribe wore spikes for the way down, but it wasn't necessarily needed.
Met two other hikers finishing their March Grid - congrats! |
