 | Comments: |
Trail is extremely muddy right now, but snow and ice is virtually all gone. There is a 50ft stretch right before the summit of leftover ice. However you can just barely skirt around it since putting spikes on just for that is a bit annoying. We brought spikes and did not use. Make sure to stop by the lime kilns, theres a great sign explaining how they worked! |
