Best Hiking Window
Wednesday evening conditions are foggy with light drizzle — hiking is possible but not ideal. The best window in the next 48 hours is early Thursday morning before rain intensifies, though trail mud will already be significant from recent precipitation. Friday carries continued rain. If flexibility allows, waiting until the rain pattern breaks will yield much better trail conditions.

“Loop broken out by the afternoon. Some unstable conditions at the top (sliding/little postholing) since it was freshly broken out and a bit warm today. Would recommend snowshoes at least halfway up, I wore them throughout.”

“Ascended anti-clockwise intending to do the loop but as of 10:30a on 2/27 the trail was not broken out beyond the Hedgehog summit. I didn’t feel like risking it solo so I went down the way I came up. The trail otherwise is great, packed nicely albeit kinda loose up top. I thought it was packed down enough to use micro spikes but was still scolded by a snowshoer. So wear whatever serves. A beautiful morning.”

“Excellent day for Hedgehog. Trail has a solid base with approximately 1.5 inches of unconsolited snow on top. Micros from start to finish but very deep snow trailside. Crossed paths with one other hiker today. Beautiful views both on Hedgehog and the East Ledges. Approached the summit anticlockwise and feel this is the way to go”
