Could someone familiar with Fuller Mt. offer any suggestion as to the most likely trail condition? I am trying to determine which boots to wear and I’ve never been there (heck, I’ve never even heard about it…). Judging by the location, elevation and weather forecast I don’t expect snow (either on the ground or in the air) but rain is likely so is it going to be similar “mud bath” like the last week or not quite so bad?
This is a very short hike. You could do it in running shoes if you don’t mind coming back to the car with damp feet. Most likely to encounter some mud and some wet, shallow snow. I’m just taking trail runners and gaiters.
One slick 30′ log crossing to get over Ten Creek. Kind of rocky trail as it wraps around the West/NW side of the mountain. Intermittent muddy areas. Not expecting any snow; perhaps a few patches near the summit.
Magnum’s trail runners/gaiter combo will work well. I’ll be doing the same.
Thanks! I’ll go with my light-hikers or running shoes then…
Here is a link to a detailed GPS route from last night with notations for several unintended detours from Zeusdaddy:
