Parked at the Grizzly Creek Trailhead and headed up the Southeast slopes. I had no issue getting to this trailhead with my Mazda CX-5. There was a decent amount of snow on this route (over a foot in certain pockets) and everything became very slushy/wet in the afternoon. However, traction/flotation/microspikes were not needed and we were able to get to the summit in good timing without any special equipment. It was beautiful/peaceful along the way as basically nobody took the Southeast route last Saturday. I would guess most of the snow has melted by now with the temps over the last several days.
