Trail was busy but not too crowded for a nice Sunday hike. Trail wasn't too muddy below snow-line (~3400ft), but it hadn't rained for a couple days. Packed ice on the trail at snow-line is slick before the snow starts getting deeper. Enough foot-holes through the snow that traction devices aren't required but will still help (I wore Salomon trail running shoes...no problems). Most had cramp-ons, ice axes, etc. As others have reported, still too much snow to see the mailbox, but more importantly, still corniced at the top, so watch out for that. Request: please do not glissade down the main path...ruins path for those still on their way up (glissade off to the side). 3.5 hours round trip

Departed TH @ 1700, weather rainy/windy with a group of 7 hikers. Wide, easily recognizable trail until reaching the snow-line ~3700ft. From here, you need to have a rough idea of the trail location as there were foot-paths in many different directions. Another hiker and myself took the more vertical route towards little bandera while the rest of the group took the indirect route.
I highly recommend using the indirect route as we were post-holing around the rocks, etc and the footing wasn't great in the slush (Felt as if I should've brought an ice-axe in case of a slip/fall). Intersected more foot-paths once we reached the top ridge and followed them along the cornice to the summit @ 1845. Snowing, cold and windy on top. On the return, followed the normal path direction with some post-holing, etc but nothing major. Bring trekking poles if possible (one of our group didn't bring his and was slipping a lot on the descent). Reached TH @ 2020. |

Began hike @ 1800--School Bus Stop Turnaround (TH). Trail is super-rocky until you hit the snow (@ ~3000ft mid-May). A large group of hikers (10 from Boeing) were descending and they made decent foot-paths in the snow, although off the beaten snow it's still pretty deep the higher you go. Kamikaze Falls was beautiful. It was a fairly warm day and I wore soft-shell pants and T-shirt until about 300ft from summit, where I donned a long-sleeve and beanie. Didn't use trekking poles/ice axe, etc. Fairly secure footing but trekking polese would have been good on the way down. Reached summit @ 2030...awesome views, especially with the sunset. Descent in darkness (no headlamp needed until below snowline). Arrive back at TH--2230.
