| Comments: |
A dusting of new snow early this morning. Snow on top of mud at lower elevations caused my microspikes to continuously ball up, which was bothersome. Put snowshoes on after about 1.5 miles, which I wore to the summit and back to that point, then bare booted the final 1.5 miles back to the parking area, which was totally slippery without any traction, but I thought it better than dealing with the clumps on my microspikes. There is still decent snow pack at elevation below tree line. Above tree line is icier and rockier. Really, other than the seasonal/spring/mud at the lower elevations, the trail is still in pretty decent shape. |
