Frog Mountain — Friday, Jan. 24, 2025

Moose the mountain pup and I climbed Frog mountain on 1/24/25. The previous trip report from 1/20/25 was very helpful. I ended up parking in the same place maybe a quarter mile from the trailhead. If you have a high clearance 4x4 you could make it to the trailhead but I didn't want to risk getting stuck. I brought snowshoes and ice axe but only needed microspikes, gaiters, and poles. There's a nice trail broken now all the way to the summit. It mostly follows the summer trail except near the top (see the Caltopo route linked in the 1/20/25 trip report. I followed the same route). Beautiful views from this trail. Unbelievable this is accessible in late January. Felt more like late November or late May.
