Mount Avalon

Trail: Avalon Trail

Conditions: Wet Trail, Ice - Blue, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Unstable)

“A windy day on trail. Plenty of hikers going up and doing the loop up to Field. We did up and back. Crowded summit, but plenty of room up there. Trail etiquette on display was a nice touch.”

Trail: Avalon Trail, A-Z Trail, Mt. Tom Spur, Willey Range Trail

Conditions: Snow - Spring Snow, Slush

“Nice spring conditions today! Some bare rocks in the beginning of the hike. Soft snow but consolidated enough that we didn’t need snowshoes. I wore spikes for steep sections for purchase and took them off on the flats. My friend preferred to bare boot most of the way to avoid snow balling up under the spikes. Snow was getting slushy by the end of the hunt near the trailhead. Clear views all around! Windy in places, especially the wind tunnel parking lot in the notch.”

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow/Ice - Frozen Granular

“Trail was well-packed throughout. Microspikes were sufficient. One could even go bare boots in the lower part of Avalon Trail. Willey Range Trail after Mt Field had some narrow and overgrown sections (I didn't like my clothes making contact with vegetation).”
