Comments
Comments: Old bridle is snow free up to 3400 ft,then snow covered with minor monorail. From hut to Lafayette has spotty snow cover off and on. . I didn't use any traction all the way from lot until haystack. Falling waters trail traction a must from top down to about 3300 ft. From 3300 ft down to the big cascade has spotty snow cover off and on with minor monorail.
