Thank you! There is Tamanos Creek Camp at 5250 ft, but it is still under snow and requires a permit.

Hi! From the video it looks like you never had to use ice axes. Is this correct? Would the snow travel be reasonable with just trail runners, microspikes, and hiking poles, or would you recommend more gear?

We didn't need to use ice axes that day, but conditions change frequently.

Sunrise Road pretty passable for a car to the trailhead?

The road was snow free all the way to the trailhead.
