I guess I kinda blew off the no parking signs others reported. Truthfully, I didn't even see them. Guess I was too stoked with the idea of hitting the trail to notice.

It was a great day with temps in the low 30s to start out and probably in the mid 40s by the time we reached the top.

The trail was packed snow and ice, but our crampons were enough to give us traction.

Yes, the views were fantastic. I need to review (again) how to upload pics. My fist attempt didn't work.

YES! I got some pictures added. The files were too big so had to compress them. Guess if I was a bit more tech savvy I would have figured that out sooner. Well, now I know how its done. Hope you enjoy.

Beautiful shots! As we drove past the parking area this afternoon, a state policeman was stationed there and a tow truck was hard at work. Be forewarned for future visits to this trailhead during winter months!

This was how it looked in October. Kinda naked, eh?
