 | Comments: |
The access road was a mix of dry ground and avoidable ice, aside from one section around 820 ft., a slab of thick ice which requires scooting off the road a bit. More snow as you ascend, but probably only an inch or two max and not consistent. Traction is not needed at the moment. The road has also been rutted pretty good in places by vehicles going to the fire tower. There's a large cairn at the summit now which I don't recall seeing before.
On the way up and down I took a side trip to a place which was really cool. Exactly as advertised. |
