Pre-sunrise hike on Thurs. morning 06/16/16. Easy stream crossing. Still a few small snow fields that were frozen as I was pre-dawn. I brought an ice axe hoping for enough snow left for some glissading down, but not the case. Plenty of frozen runoff on the trail if the temp is low so spikes could be helpful, but not really required. Sunrise on the summit was awesome although the smoke from the New Mexico fires is interfering with the views.
