Date of Hike: 12/5/10
Trail Conditions: dusting of snow all the way up with icy sections easily maneuvered with traction starting after the 2nd stream crossing. Some lifts running and snow making was in action. Care was needed at the first river crossing as it had icy rocks on the way up, around 10:30, but it was melted on the descent.
Special Equipment Required: traction: microspikes or stablicers, poles for river crossings, winter layers of clothing.
Comments: Optional - nice trip with a good group. Nice to have another birdwatcher out with me. Spotted chickadees and a red breasted nuthatch.
