We took Glencliff up and succumbed to a 30-year itch to try a route up South Peak by the obvious snowfield at 4300'. Glencliff Trail was crusty early then had increasing new snow to about 8" with deeper blown-in sections. Route up snowfield went well with crusted, wind-packed snow and only one spruce trap (but a beaut!). Cover was ample for protecting flora under our snowshoes. We descended by the spur trail and decided against the main summit (we met a hiker on our descent who was planning on going there). No bad blowdowns or crossing issues. No fresh tracks on Carriage Road.

Snowshoes were ideal all day.

Fun hike on a cold, windy day.
