 | Comments: |
Parked at Seven Dwarfs, crossed private bridge 0.2 miles further up road, then took left turn 150 yards beyond the bridge onto trail that leads about 0.5 miles through woods to reach Haystack Road. Was easy to follow. Bare booted from car to icy but still open stream crossing just before Fire Warden Trail then used spikes. Very little snow until about 2200 feet. Ground mostly frozen with periodic patches of ice. Increasing snow higher up but trail wet with flowing water at times and exposed rocks on and off until about 3200 feet then good packed/solid snow surface to summit. |
