Mount Walker

Got to the Trailhead at 11:30am on Easter Sunday, there were still a few spots left. Beautiful views at the top and the trail was in great shape - looks like the tree across the trail has been cleared...

What a fantastic trail! My wife described it as “relentless” as we climbed up. My Apple Watch had the distance at 5.67 miles round trip to the north viewpoint with 1,980 ft of gain, so I’m not 100% su...

Mt Walker trail is in excellent shape - no snow, no mud and clear except for on tree down across the trail about 1/4 mile from the trailhead but is very easy to step over.  Quite a sunny day and at th...

Another quick trail condition update: there is a sizable tree down across the trail about 1/4 mile from the trailhead. Otherwise, the trail was clear with a very light dusting of snow at the summit.

We did a quick zip up Mt Walker in the morning.  The lower gate by the highway was open, but the gate a quarter-mile up the road was closed for the winter.  There's parking by the upper gate.The trail...
