This is a close in trail that has some gravel roads most cars can navigate. Minimal parking where we started, enough for 2-3 cars max. Parts of the trail can be muddy and slick. Top had some snow, micro spikes not needed. Definitely dress in layers, would be easy to get wet and chilled near top if windy. I recommend hiking poles for some slippery areas. Generally footing is better than most trails.
On our way down the Sun started to break through. Got a good view of Fuzzy top.
Anyday hiking is a good day!
Roughly 8 miles there and back. Gaia had us at about 2,000. feet elevation gain.
