About what felt like 1 mile before the trailhead, the road became covered with significant amount of snow and ice, forcing us to leave our car at that point. We walked up to the trailhead and we could...

Got to the designated parking at noon on a Thursday, and there were 3 other cars.I had a tough time marking the choices for this one.Road suitable to all vehicles...yes, but it's also closed about 2 m...
