- Snow on trail
Approx 95% of trail covered with snow. It's a beautiful hike with excellent views. We only encountered 5 other hikers - two of which turned around fairly early on the trail. We hiked approx half the length of the trail before turning around due to difficulty crossing streams. Others did make the crossings but it would be beneficial to have waterproof footwear (which we had) and poles (which we did not have). We are reasonably fit individuals who hike nearly every weekend but are not necessarily mountaineers. :-) If you have an above average fear of slipping down waterfalls as I do, this may be a hike to take on a few weeks later in the season. If, like my hiking partner, you have a slightly below average fear of death by waterfall or come well equipped, this may be a great hike for you!
