Trail Notes - Despite the ever-changing terrain, from muddy trails to icy paths and melting snow, we needed trekking poles, micro-spikes, and the trusty companionship of snowshoes. There is still more than 24” in most locations…
The summit is clear of most ice and snow, however the trail near the summit is still somewhat treacherous with ice and snow. |
