March 10th: Expect fresh snow to cover the trails. Before people use the trails, snow will be unpacked and deep in places.
At any time come prepared for a variety of conditions. Be sure not to overestimate your ability when planning your trip: Humility can be a lifesaver. Bring plenty of water, snacks and multiple clothing layers.
Be aware of closures in the area and check advisories before you go.
