What is the current snow situation on the trail?

Snow is present intermittently, especially at higher elevations, and has largely melted into a running stream in lower sections, making the trail very wet. Some mushy snow patches remain about a mile to a mile and a half from the summit, but do not require special traction as of [November 7](https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report-2026-11-07.180423206328).

Are there any significant obstacles on the trail currently?

The primary obstacles are wet and slippery conditions due to meltwater, with large mud puddles and running streams in places. Strong winds, around 40-50 mph sustained, were reported near the summit on [November 7](https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report-2026-11-07.180423206328), potentially making the exposed sections challenging.

What is the parking situation like at the trailhead?

Parking can be limited. As of [November 7](https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report-2026-11-07.180423206328), there was only one other car parked along the road at 0745. While the Mirror Lake parking area can accommodate about a dozen vehicles, driving directly to the trailhead via FS9070 is often preferred but has rough road access.
