For my last hike of 2022, I chose to visit the new trails at Waikiki Springs. I hiked around all the loops, Aster, Granite and Eagle. I saw lots of snow, a bit of granite and one eagle. No asters blooming in the snow today.
The trail was almost completely covered in snow. The exceptions were the lovely new bridge which was bare and wet, several icy patches on the switchbacks and several random places where bare mud rose through the snow. The trail has been well packed by hikers. I recommend microspikes until the next major snowstorm.
Happy New Year!
