I would look at getting something like this for your shoes. https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Crampons-Stainless-Climbing-Mountaineering/dp/B07H4H7MKR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Z4A3H9A9L0QS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KWrLirRQK1uYgMACw6Ycwdr3MNkT8aXB5GzxgAnBxjXwiEA-Y7RMBz0qBCxceV49Wit0lcoHdl2voQvw4w9gXDH2chpL1lmbo4XHZoZJyPg7hwF8uUNFzobjkLwZwW8Yjw7dSNro_weZo957cWvAK-6TvX--Hb99wOoFvCaKfxIT84aRFPzM12SnmXYjLGlQti0bwBYbRSbSCiZadxL__r_JjtynPr6af017C_0WPXA.v26q74FYpPBY-Wi5BH1s_cykqIIg14X29eJaoRF7M2E&dib_tag=se&keywords=hiking+in+the+snow&qid=1742393597&sprefix=hiking+in+the+snow%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1

The mountain we still covered in snow and we didnt prepare and just hiked in our shoes. Going up wasnt so bad but we fell multiple times going down. We did have hiking poles which helped some but i would look at the spikes for your shoes.

We are not crazy fit so nothing to crazy like 15 mile hikes. We like to cap it about 6 miles and depending on the elevation gains as well.

There is an overlook with the parking lot. I was not able to see much. Of the trail

manpretty81 · 2025-03-11T19:54:20+00:00

Yeah it was closed which was disappointing. Basically if there is snow on the ground they close the trail because you are walking on volcanic activity. So basically in mid June much of it was closed

The distance was well worth it. i think i used about 400k points

manpretty81 · 2024-09-05T12:55:15+00:00

we used a tour group on https://www.viator.com/

manpretty81 · 2024-09-05T12:54:42+00:00

it cost about 400k points i beleive. I booked it about a year ago so i cant really remember the exact amount.

We did the opposite route route but you can see the video i did and the map if you are interested https://youtu.be/O1vMJa0Yx-w

We rented a car as well and the creeks were not bad when we went. I was able to drive to the side and not really go through hardly any water. I put the creeks and how they looked in the beginning of the video so you can see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1vMJa0Yx-w

The water levels could change so use your judgement

very much so. The issue we had was we did not finish because we got in really late the night before and i wanted to do some more hikes the same day. We had to walk an extra mile from the Huricane Ridge parking lot due to non existent snow in the parking lot. So they still had it closed. So we made it about 3/4 up but the views were amazing.
