| Comments: |
The trail was fairly well packed and well delineated, but higher temps during the day and rain at lower elevations caused a good deal of balling on snowshoes. Regardless, snowshoes would be recommended for the hike in general. At higher elevations this was not an issue. Right before the summit there were some snow drifts. |
