Trip with NorCal Women Adventurers. We packed snowshoes, and while we encountered a good amount of snow, it didn't necessitate the use of snowshoes. Weather was great, a bit windy in spots. Luckily we had someone with us who knew the route in the snow, else that would have been a challenge. The fire lookout was a good lunch spot, the summit itself a little underwhelming. Fantastic views from the lookout. Only saw one other person on the trail past Picnic Rock/trail spur for the lookout.
