Trailhead infrastructure seems to be nonexistent. Bathrooms are closed off, Helene damage is real. Only ~3 campsites on the backroad leading to the trailhead. Forest service road with campsites is currently closed, but supposed to reopen soon. Expect minimal or no service at the trailhead. Bathrooms at the summit are closed as well.

Great conditions, minimal mud, final 1-2 miles has icy mud and some snow with slippery spots. Microspikes could be useful, but are not necessary.
