- Snow and ice on road
-
About 6 inches of snow on ground, road was icy but passable for most vehicles. We took the lower approach to avoid the waterfall scramble.
There was about 6 inches of snow on the trail, microspikes were useful. We brought our own firewood and had a nice campfire. Temps were about 20 low, 30 high. We had the whole place to ourselves.
