Beautiful sunny day! The trailhead temp was 28°F at the 7 AM start but I was in shortsleeves by the time I started my descent. Not much snow except on the trail, and not too icy that would require micro spikes. As long as you have good treads on your shoes you’d be OK. Trekking poles are a plus.

I bagged Volcan Peak after I finished this hike. See my next trip report …
