 | Comments: |
Trail in good shape. Nice 4.4 mile round trip, 3 hours total, easy pace. Steady moderate climb, snow on the trail starting about a mile in, ice increased further up. Spikes are a good idea from about 3000 feet to the summit. The rain started about a mile from the trailhead on the way back, but it made for a nice ending to the day. Enjoy the hike itself, there is no view from the top, but the trail is a nice one. |
