 | Comments: |
In and out hike. Parked in the FS parking lot. Muddy areas to the reroute - firm base - OK to walk through. Mostly dry trail to Gem pool and beyond to the waterfall area then off and on monorail to Lake of the Clouds Hut. I wore microspikes on the monorails both up and down. Spikes totally optional. The Monroe Loop was mostly dry trail. Crawford Path had newly formed breakable ice in places- easily avoidable. Overall Crawford Path was in great shape. Windy and cold. |
