Went there today around 8:30am. Only couple of cars there. Put on spikes from the parking lot (the beginning of trail doesn’t need spikes at all). Took them off and put them back on at around 500 feet elevation gain. The trail is very easy to follow. From the boulder area the trail became very steep. Use the left trail at the boulder (maybe I was the only one who used the right one which was a sliding trail. It is very slippery). The view at the summit was amazing. Overall micro-spikes and poles are enough. New trails might need snowshoes.
