| Comments: |
Trail started bare and dry with a few muddy spots. Around 3,000 ft small patches of snow were encountered. Put traction on with about 1 mile to go. The mono rail was very tricky and if you stepped of or fell of you were in knee deep snow. The summit was easy to get to because the snow is still so deep up there the rocks are all covered. Snow still up to the base of the sign. |
