Winter conditioning loop hike counter clockwise up from the Big Tree Ridge Trailhead.
There WILL be fresh snow, so microspikes are highly recommended and waterproof hiking boots are required (no running shoes). Many of the trails higher up are fairly wide or have good tread for fairly easy hiking in the snow.
Being a conditioning hike, breaks will be limited and pace will be steady by moderate as conditions permit.
