Thursday morning offers the most viable window, during a potential brief lull between overnight showers and the approaching afternoon storm system. Plan for an early start to allow maximum time on trail before conditions deteriorate Thursday afternoon and evening. Friday remains wet and unsettled. A delay until conditions clear behind the Friday system is strongly advised for those seeking safer, drier conditions.

“I saw two moose. They were big and awesome. Trail is in very good shape. Muddy in a few spots with some collapsing snow, but mostly fast and hard packed. From the cabin to summit is a dream. Half a dozen other folks out this morning and had fun chats with each of them.”

“Excellent conditions today as the temps stayed just below freezing. Snowflakes even flew from the sky! Stable monorail and some bare rock at lower elevation. Solid hard packed snow all the rest of the way. Wore Hillsound Trail Crampons. The trail was a like highway. Four hours car to car. Felt so good I decided to hike Cannon on the way home.”

“Great winter trail conditions today for this peak. The cold morning start made for a microspike superhighway of winter like hard pack with some very stable monorail/beginning of monorail stretches. There were a few barespots here and there and a short stretch of icy trail. The trail developed a slushy layer in the afternoon as I was coming out but overall fantastic trail conditions. Happy to grid out this peak.”
