The trail was pretty muddy, making the bugs pretty terrible. Just a gradual uphill grade for most of it. The mud definitely could have been worse though. A lot of it was avoidable. I went up in the afternoon so by the time I was coming down it was very humid from the weather blowing in, adding to the bugs. The views were gorgeous above treeline. There was one little patch of snow with some postholes, but my microspikes stayed on my pack. Nice quick hike before the weather got bad though! Pictures and a more thorough report is on my blog below! |
