| Comments: |
Overall, the trail conditions were not significantly different from the summer, except for a few patches of ice and some snow at the peak. The fire tower was covered in ice, but the traction on the stairs was good.The gate at the top of the fire tower stairs was bolted shut, though this did not prevent us from enjoying the view. |
