Ascent Trip ReportSolo ascent over Thanksgiving Weekend. Hiked out from the Willow Creek Trailhead, on Rte 244. Snow was 1-2" at the trailhead and 10-12" near the top. Trail was unbroken, but got by without having to use my snowshoes - used microspikes for most of the trail, but probably barebootable except for a few icy patches. Trail was sheltered from the wind for most of the way. No other hikers on this trail.
Summit tower was neat! Overall, an enjoyable hike, with some great views along the way.
