Travis and I decided to hike up at this same trail with our brother even though there was a chance of snow storm passing over by the mountains. Since we arrived later than planned, we could not finish the whole trail as we hoped. It snowed during our hike, but fortunately, the snow-covered trail was still visible and easy to follow. The temperature has fallen below 40 F, but we wore proper clothing, which helped us enjoy the hike without any problems.
After we hiked a mile and an half, it started snowing thicker and the snow level was rising inches, almost up to our knee level. We had to turn around and hike back before the sun sets.
The exciting part was our new Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction
, which helps prevent slipping and use less legwork especially when hiking uphill. Although we loved our shoe spikes and plan to use them again, we would like to try snow shoeing at next time and actually finish the whole trail at next time!
