The is a road / old trail hike and no snowshoes were needed.. Note that this is difficult to follow so map and compass skills and GPS skills important. We did put the track (thanks to Dennis Long) of the trip. There is snow at 4200' and once at the top (4800') there is about 5 inches of snow..

Park on the left and do not block gate.
