| Comments: |
Trail is in excellent condition and there is no snow/ice on the stairs to the tower, which made them quite a bit easier than after the first snow. Trail is packed but not icy and easy to follow. This is a great winter/first peak. It is pretty well protected from the wind until very near the top with phenomenal views, even on cloudy days like today. |
