Hi, everybody. I'm interested in hearing what kind of footwear is suggested for heading up the Devil's Slide to Saddle Junction and to the Lookout. I was on this trail a couple of weeks ago. It was icy but not too bad. Turned very slushy by noon and lots of water on the Slide on the way up and down. I felt pretty comfortable with Microspikes, maybe a little bit slippery; I ditched my snowshoes. But more snow has come in since then. I'm staying just one night.
Does anyone know what kind of condition this trail is in? What recommendations for traction: Microspikes? Crampons? Will I need snowshoes beyond Saddle Junction?
Thanks for any help!!
Sincerely,
Michael
