Mt. Pierce, Mt. Eisenhower via Crawford Connector, Crawford Path, Webster Cliff Trail, Eisenhower Loop
Date of Hike: Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Trail Conditions: Pu pu platter
Special Equipment Required: Light traction helpful for monorail on upper Crawford Path
Comments:
Crawford Connector was snow free, though a bit mucky in a few places. A few blowdowns.
Crawford Path was bare until perhaps 1/3 mile before the Mizpah junction. Consistent monorail after the junction, narrow but stable. Can walk next to it in a few places, but generally you have to stay on top of it. Snow ends at treeline. A few blowdowns.
Webster Cliff Trail from Crawford Path to Mt. Pierce - bare and mostly dry.
Crawford Path from Webster Cliff Trail to Eisenhower Loop - still significant snow in the spruce areas, but the open areas are dry and bare.
Eisenhower Loop to Mt. Eisenhower - bare ground up until the final switchback. Footbed filled with fairly recent snow above there, though only a few inches deep. Three piles of logs on the trail - looks like some significant work will be done in the near future.
Note: Mizpah Hut sign at Crawford Path junction shows that it is now open for self service.
