thought i would try the lions a little earlier this year. ive been up there many times and really like the hike, it's got many differant aspects to the hike and know the hike very well. i knew there was going to be quite abit of snow so i took my crampons and a pik. if you've been up there yourself you will know what sections that im going to talk about. after you head over the bridge after the the small trail you get into a rock section then it goes into a switchback section in the tree's. this is were if you havent been up there before it might be the end for you, there were many trees that have falling since last year (big trees) and the path is blocked all over the place and most of the flags and trail markings are gone. i did not have fun through this section after that i came to the rock section before the ridge, still 3 feet of snow needed my crampons. i would not suggest going up there quite yet all in all i had i good day the weather was great and there was no one else up there, i wonder why. i do hope that the tree's get cleaned up for this season as it's a great hike even for the non-experienced hope to see you in the mountians soon good hiking to all ! ps picture not from this trip will post some soon
