Beautiful trail, excellent views.

Found a pair of prescription sunglasses on our way down, if these are yours let me know, I can try to get them back to ya.

Did you find this trip report helpful?

How were road conditions? Drivable all the way to the W Cady Ridge TH proper or is there still a washout to contend with (sedan-friendly or high-clearance needed?). Thank you! :)

Road is passable but there is 4-5 inches of icy snow at the trailhead. My Subaru Forester was stuck when we made it back to the car, had to shovel and rock it out. I would not recommend driving a sedan to the TH, but you could park where the snow starts getting deep and walk the final half mile or so of the road.
