The most snow I've seen on Rose in years! It was patchy at the trailhead and quickly became consistent. We all donned micro-spikes about half-way to Horse Camp, then wore snowshoes all the way to the top with a mostly decent track through very deep snow. Gorgeous snow formations along the way. No wind, perfect temperature. Great leader and companions, a very enjoyable trip!
Unpaved portion of road was passable in a track, maybe possible in a sedan but AWD probably best.
