Started out with some fog, but it cleared up pretty quickly. Really nice day for a hike overall. Around 1.7 miles in, I started seeing a bit of snow on the trail. It gradually increased as I went up, but it was packed down and easy to walk on. I threw on my microspikes for part of the way down, though plenty of people were doing fine without them. Still, it doesn’t hurt to have them, especially for the descent.
There were two fallen trees across the trail earlier in the day. On my way back, one had already been cut and moved, so only one was left.
The top was beautiful. The sky opened up just enough to get some nice views.
On the way down it was warming up, and the snow on the trees was melting. Some parts of the trail got muddy and a bit slippery, so just watch your step.
