| Comments: |
Snow is patchy closer to the bottom of trail. About 1/5 way up the snow/ice became constant and spike were needed. There is still a good 2 - 3 feet of snow pack near the summit. Temps hit 66 degrees and there was a substantial more water on the trail on our way down than on the way up. Lots of mud. |
