Ice cleats and a walking pole made the experience safe and enjoyable, lots of people around were slipping without the cleats. I am a novice hiker with knee problems and I found the hike very manageable. Not too much up or down at one time, but you definitely get your steps in! Go in the afternoon slot if you want to take more time at the lookout spots.”
