Trail covered in snow from the parking lot but very easy to follow the first 1,500 ft. We brought microspikes / crampons but there was no need for them. Snowshoes were needed starting ~2,500 ft.
Party of 7 decided to run away from grey, rainy Seattle and find some Sun in Leavenworth area. Weather didn't disappoint, except the 40+ mph wind gusts knocking us over at ~ 4,3000 ft and forcing us to turn around. Great day out, wrapped up with an early dinner at South.
