January 10, 2021January 10, 2021January 9, 2021January 9, 2021No fee in the winter. We had a great time! Trail was snow covered. Thankfully we had traction cleats and hiking poles! A must! It was lightly snowing. Trail is well marked. Lots of scramble.
January 2, 2021Good hike! Very windy when we went and a slick layer of ice on everything early in the morning - mostly cleared up by 2pm. It can get crowded! Recommend bringing good hiking shoes and micro spikes/hiking poles if you’re iffy on the ice!
