"I went a day after we got snow. I broke the trail out all the way to the two overlooks. The trail had ice underneath the snow and in spots the ice wasn’t frozen with water running underneath. It was very wind on the overlooks with a light snow falling. On the way out I noticed that some barebooters used my tracks for their path out, so I tried to fix the divots that they caused.

"Started at the Spanish Oaks Trailhead. The trail climbs quickly to a trail junction with the Sweet Bay Trail. I continued taking the uphill trail from there, which eventually delivered me to the bovine on the summit that is enjoying the views. Just like that, I completed the Nine Sisters Peak Challenge." — Peak-Conquistador • Jan 18, 2020

"Cold start to the day as the temp was 3 degrees when I hit the trail. The trail was hard to find in a couple of spots as markers were few & far between. The upper sections were a bit icy & the micro spikes came in handy. Views from the top were amazing with Hurricane, Giant, Dix, etc. all there for the taking." — billsussdorff • Jan 18, 2020

"Parked as close as I could to the beginning of the foot path that leads to the "P". This is off of Klamath St. The campus at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is open and is rather welcoming to visitors on the weekend. At the beginning of the trail is a hikers gate and a write up of the history of the "P". I turned the hike into a loop by leaving the walking path about halfway up and taking a use trail up a steep draw to the base of the "P". I then took the wooden steps to stand above the "P". After taking photos, I followed the appropriate pathway back down to the parking lot." — Peak-Conquistador • Jan 18, 2020

"I tried to hike Van Houvenberg from the bobsled side, but found out the trail was closed due to construction. So, I drove to the South Meadow access & did it from there. Pretty easy hike with some muddy areas around the beaver pond & some icy sections near the top. Views were limited due to the cloud cover, but could see on a clear day they'd be spectacular." — billsussdorff • Jan 15, 2020
