The 6 mile road from HWY 12 to the parking lot/camp ground was plowed enough for 1 lane of traffic, muddy in spots but passable in a 2WD van. Trail was mostly clear with small section of snow but hard packed enough where snow shoes or micro spikes where not needed. From tree line to summit small section of snow but primarily an upward hike in the steep scree field, about a mile. Round trip 8 miles total time 5 hours. Photos (click for slideshow):
