There are a few runoff crossings with snow bridges over them, definitely avoid stepping at the bottom of the troughs because you’ll probably go right through. |

 | Comments: |
Snowshoes necessary starting about 0.65 mile in, with a few dry/rocky spots here & there. No need to take snowshoes off for them. At about mile 3.1 (just below the summit) you’ll want to take them off because it’s all bare rock. |
