First day in tights and trail runners, yippee. Trail completely clear of ice and snow for approximately first mile, then some dicey icy sections leading up to the view. I lava-rocked it on the way up, but felt more secure w/ the rock spikes on the way down. Between the view and treeline/exposed rocks leading to the summit, there is some deep mud and a slushy monorail, nothing too terrible. Finally, a beautiful spring day!   |
