Tecumseh Trail, ski parking lot, roundtrip.
5/2/09
Lower portion of trail snow free. Snow appears after second (major) water crossing.
Easy to rock-hop or avoid snow until a little ways up the neverending steep portion. Then monorail widens and snow covers most the path. Icy portions -- light traction helpful.
Equipment: bring your snowshoes just in case. I didn't use mine today, but if the day was warmer I would have needed them. Also, traction useful for descent.
Stream crossings no biggie.
