 | Comments: |
Trail is completely clear of snow ice, except for some tiny pockets in shaded areas up top. A few stretches of mud at the bottom, but fairly easy to avoid. Running water down the steep section, and then on some rocks higher up.
If you're jonesing to ditch the spikes/shoes for a day, I'd 100% recommend hitting this trail up. At 9 miles round-trip, you'd almost think you were in the Whites. Great day to be outside on Monday. |
