| Comments: |
The trail was beautifully packed and easy to follow. We had snow cover the entire way to the summit. We chose to use microspikes, as did the others we saw on the trail and didn't post hole at all on the trail to the lookout. The ice formations on the trail were breathtaking. There was some thick ice on the last portion of the trail beyond the main ice formations. Microspikes were a necessity on that portion. |
