| Comments: |
Trail has everything - trace areas of snow, snow covered crusty ice, running water especially the first 3 miles or so. Not the smooth pavement path I got to hike on earlier this week at Tecumseh and Pierce. Spikes were perfect, no crampons or snow shoes needed. Summit was spectacular. |
