Oct 6th: After the recent snowfall snow and ice are slowly melting. Higher elevation trails will hold significant snow in shaded areas. Expect icy conditions in the morning becoming muddy with the warmer temperatures.
Always come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change suddenly throughout the day. You may want to consider bringing hiking poles, micro spikes, toques, gloves and multiple layers. Note that days are getting shorter, plan your day accordingly.
