No traction needed! Trail runners great if that’s your thing no need for waterproof boots. Very minimal/patchy,super shallow snow up high that is very grippy. Amazing warm morning with stellar views. People reported coming up Italian Trail/Mt. Shaw trail similar conditions with no traction needed. 30/52 for the boy. If you’re looking for a snow-free hike with big summit views this is as good as it gets right now. |
