Haven’t seen this trail being this wet before, very cool to see those dry “creeks” in the summer to come alive. At the start of the trail and a big portion of the meadow area around 3miles in were “flooded” but I was able to stay dry with waterproof boots and careful footing. Without waterproof shoes you’ll get wet no matter what.
First encountered snow at around 4000ft, intermittent until the “flooded” meadow area. The last couple of miles had consistent snow but it was mostly shallow and not hard to cross. Did not need spikes going up but they definitely helped going down. Brought snowshoes but they are absolutely not needed.
Peekaboo views of mountains nearby and it’s cool to see mountain loop become a winter wonderland!
