 | Comments: |
Awesome sunset hike/overnight trip with my brother. Minor patches of snow and ice in lower elevations. Firm solid snow further up with even bare patches or ice flows. Spikes are required. Rocky ledges at the summit were bare. A really great hike and one I intend on repeating at some point. A more mellow approach than from Chippewa trail (currently closed due to logging operations). |
