| Comments: |
Trail is free of snow and ice all the way to the end of the steep section to East Osceola. After that, intermittent sections of monorail, mostly stable, all the way to Osceola. Chimney and the bypass were free of snow and ice. Microspikes are quite impractical and not really needed. There were also a lot of people coming up from the other direction, suggesting that Tripoli road might have been reopened. |
