Comments
Comments: I brought my snowshoes but did not need them. Microspikes were enough The trail was packed and firm with a few places steep and smooth enough to butt-slide on the way back down. You're in the trees almost all the way to the summit, so even if the wind had been higher, most of the hike still would have been feasible.
