 | Comments: |
What a beautiful winter hike and summit. The fire tower was open and is a great way to enjoy the views and have a snack while protected from wind. The trail is very icy due to the thaws and freezes, and microspikes are a must. No snowshoes were needed. Even with spikes, use caution. |
